 Peter and it's been a brand new year and for some that means new investments. The Powerball jackpot is at 440 million dollars for Wednesday's drawing but there may be better odds to invest in Bitcoin. Joining us now for more from the stock swoosh is Melissa Armo. Good to have you here on New Year's Day. Happy new year. Happy new year. Yeah. So let's break down the numbers. I mean you've run the numbers. You know which one's a better bet. Take it away. Well it's one in 292 million odds that you would win the Powerball. So really it's a great chance. So the bottom line is the odds are not that good for the Powerball but it's two dollars for a ticket. So the risk to reward is huge. Little bit of money up front and the possibility of winning a huge amount of money and you know boom right away is when they run it. If it goes off Wednesday night that's why it's gotten so big. This has been running since November since the end of November. Nobody wins if it doesn't run on Wednesday. Nobody wins. It could run into Saturday. I mean it could get up to be huge. So if someone wanted to invest you know they're looking ahead to 2018 they're like I want to make a little bit of money maybe make it up in 2017. Maybe you just want to you know get lucky on Powerball or whatever. So let's talk a little bit about Bitcoin though. So what if viewers at home need to know about that. Well a lot of people don't understand Bitcoin. I was just talking to somebody I don't know yesterday one of them. Yeah. It's really a trading instrument right now. People are speculating that eventually it's going to take the place of the US dollar and be recognized by governments. At this point now that's not the case obviously. But it's going up a lot. If you bought Bitcoin in the beginning of the year for a thousand dollars you could have sold it for twenty thousand dollars for one Bitcoin. The problem is Bitcoin's thirteen thousand five hundred right now today is the spot price for one Bitcoin. So that's more expensive. You know obviously any to the powerball. Any tips there for. Well I would say you really got to know what you're doing with Bitcoin and you got to be okay with risk because it fluctuates. So right now like I said prices thirteen five it was up a twenty thousand it could drop down to seven tomorrow or tonight and then go up again to 20. It's very volatile. The volatility of it really calls people to question. I heard somebody describe it as it's basically like real estate on the Internet and trying to break it down. We have to be willing to take risk. Yeah I think there's better odds with Bitcoin talking to the comparison. Of course better odds you can make money with Bitcoin but the payoff is not as great for the price. So sitting here today on New Year's Day for our amazing Fox and I went to the same fraternity as Dr. Seuss. So sitting here today what do you want the Fox and Friend viewer to do. I would say that no matter what you do whether you want to buy Bitcoin trade Bitcoin or buy a powerball ticket do it with the mind that it's for fun with the idea of taking risk. Don't nothing's a sure thing nothing's a guarantee either Bitcoin or the powerball. So do it for fun. So real quick we don't have a lot of time but any last minute advice for people heading into 2018 before before we have to go for the for the stock market at large just at large. I would say I agree. Yeah add your 401k if you can if you don't the maximum contribution the market has been running up and I would say let it ride. And if you're in any long term investments and strong stocks like Amazon Google Facebook Microsoft let those stocks ride it's going to be a good year. Are you worried though it's a little bit too late to buy in because the market is so high or do you think it has more room to grow. If you're a long term investor it doesn't matter so that's the nice thing. If it's going higher it doesn't matter where you get in get in so that you get the ride out. That's what a lot of people think a lot of people are saying that it's too late. But look if you said that in 2016 look you missed the whole year of 2017. We may need to talk after the show. Thanks Melissa we really appreciate your time and happy year. Happy year. Well million are at
