 You might be the busiest man in Washington today, trying to cover all of this. All right, take a look at Wall Street. Stocks remaining higher. Down industrial average up 233 points, 28,428. NASDAQ is up 111. The S&P 500 is up by 31. Melissa Armo, founder of the Stock Swoosh, joining us to discuss what's going on today. Melissa, great to talk to you again. Hope you're doing well. Yes, I'm doing as good as I can be here in New York City. Good morning. Good morning. So I guess right now, the belief is that Wall Street believes we're going to see some agreement, or at least they're hopeful we're going to see some agreement later today. That's the belief, and that's why we're up, because we saw them off pretty hard yesterday. In fact, we power-trended down all day yesterday, closed near the lows, and now this morning we're up. You're seeing some buying coming in here for 45 minutes. But I've got to be honest with you. I would be shocked if the deal gets done today. So whatever reason they've been working on this for weeks, they have not been able to come to a meeting of the minds. So why would anyone think that they're going to come up with a deal today? They're so far apart. The election is less than two weeks away, and they just can't come to a deal. So I would not be surprised if we completely flip, flip around, kind of like we did Friday. Friday, remember, we rally, and then we closed week on Friday. Then we fell Monday. So even though we're green today, 45 minutes into the open, I don't have 100% conviction that we're going to close green today. OK. The other big story out earlier today, and not that this is a surprise that we knew this was coming, Google and the antitrust suit being filed by the Justice Department today. And while this is obviously something that's going to play out over years and years, any initial impact from at least the official announcement? Well, I think like everything else is happening right now, this is teetering with the Twitter having suspended some of the Trump campaigns accounts last week and some of the other players. There's a lot going on with these tech companies. I think it remains to be seen if they're going to still be able to continue to operate under the same blanket that they've been able to. It seems like they control so much today. So far, Google's rallying, just like the market is. But this is one thing that could turn around more on news on that in the next couple of days. And if Google is a market mover, Google affects the market. This tech sector, Google Netflix, Netflix stories are out tonight too. All of these things can affect the market besides the stimulus deal. Right now, Google is rallying. But I think that some of these big tech companies could see some sell-off with some of these news reactions because if in fact Congress wants to start regulating these companies in a way that they have never done before, I think it's going to be extremely problematic for them and for their platform. I think, to be honest with you, the idea of censorship is not something that Twitter and Google and Facebook should have entered into. I think they could see it as a free forum just because of the legal protections that they've had. But for whatever reason, they chose not to do that. So Google, yes, it has been troubled. Twitter has been troubled and Facebook as well. And those big movers, they actually move the market. When you have that sector up running up to the high, the market tends to rally. When you have that sector sell-off, which hasn't happened yet today. Like I said, Google's green. You have that drag on the market. And so this is another reason why I really wouldn't be jumping into the market long here. I don't think it's a great idea to be going long at this point. I know we're on support. I know we're not that far off the highs. I get it. And people feel like they missed the rally up since the march closed. Well, there'll be plenty of time to buy. Plenty of time to buy towards the end of 2020 or even into the beginning of 2021. Once we get through most of this period of COVID, once we get a vaccine, actually approved. And that's another negative thing that's weighed on the market. Three of the trials that have been going on for the COVID vaccine have been put on hold. So I don't know if we're gonna get a vaccine. It's here. President Trump seems very optimistic about it. But even if they get one done by early 2021, that would be really fast in my view. Quick final thought on holiday shopping. And what do you think we're gonna see? And what do you think it may mean for retail? Maybe even next year. Because I think the pattern has been going into 2020. There was the expectation of a lot of retailers were gonna have to shut their doors. That's just the pattern that retail has been going. And I think that the potential is there for that to continue in 2021. Well, for sure. Like for example, here in New York, many of these small stores, many of these small shops have closed and even Neema markets ended up closing their doors in New York. They declared bankruptcy. They pulled themselves out of it. But they're no longer in New York City. So I think the problem is gonna be for brick and mortar to get people in because of COVID. Remember, you have the big shopping. The best way to get people and make sales is in person. But I think people are gonna tend to shop online. Cyber week. This year could be in cyber day that Monday after Black Friday could be one of the biggest days. More so than Black Friday. But I still think shoppers are gonna get the best deals if they go into the store because stores are so desperate for people to come in. The Walmart, Target, Amazons of the world, the ones that attract the online shoppers are the ones that are probably gonna see nice rallies into the end of the year. And last year, they had, we had great numbers. This is all before COVID. In 2019, you saw some of the biggest sales. But we tell sales that you ever saw in 2019. If we can get a stimulus deal pass, which I think we will, way before the holiday season, then you're gonna see some nice shopping numbers. But I'm not sure if it's gonna be for the brick and mortar stores, even if they have good deals. But that's where people are gonna get them. They're gonna get better deals going in because the stores are so desperate to have people come in and have it be online. Melissa, thanks very much for your time.
