that's a big deal. premarket tesla is at almost $700 a share. bitcoin has broken through the $56000 low again, 56700. now look at what i'm beginning to call old line at big tech stocks. they had a huge rebound yesterday. not moving far today, i can see green, but no spectacular gains this morning. overall, dow industrials on the upside again. the dow jones is up 170 odd points, s&p higher end nasdaq is up 82 points secured plenty of green today. today is the day that texas drops the mask of mandate. does it feel like back to normal? we will take you to texas and alaska becomes the first state to make facts nailed-- vaccinations available to everyone. florida and texas everyone over 60 so they lower the eligibility age.

to begin. ♪♪ stuart: lets me go. let's get straight to this. president of biden's handlers sure don't want him to answer any questions from the media at the latest example, roll tape. >> we are going to move out. let's go, president. let's go. come on, let's go. let's go. stuart: the tape doesn't really tell the story. they are just a shutting him out, he can answer questions, get out is basically what happened at. 49 days without a solo press conference from

president biden, longer than that 15 most previous presidents. we will get into this all the way through the day. what are they hiding? let's get to money, important subject for my future's a across the board. nasdaq is up 105 points. the nasdaq, by the way, at its best day since november yesterday. susan, big rally for big tech yesterday. today they are adding by the looks of this. susan: because there is no inflation. we just got the latest inflation numbers at the bottom of the hour and it shows pretty much still contained-- you judge by the amount of money coming into by the depth there's a lot of investor interest when it comes to big tech so bank of america said everyone bought the tech route last week. that's one of the highest inflows-- weekly inflows and over seven years with lpl research

says since 1980, if you look at trends the nasdaq has been higher over 90% of the time six to 12 months out after a correction dip some in the nasdaq falls 10% from recent weeks like it did monday and also we have the house herein is starting our-- now trying to approve the nine-point-- 1.9 trillion stimulus plan. many millennial's will be reinvesting back into the stock market. stuart: interesting, they did by the depth big time, that money flowed right in on the dip. let's bring in shah gilani because i understand you are still cautious, that's not like you. you have been an aggressive buyer a big tech for five full years and suddenly two weeks in a row shah gilani is cautiously. what's going on? >> it's all about the 10 year treasury note as

far as i'm concerned, stuart. if we see more volatility in the 10 year and we look to see, i think, we will see rising interest rates and i think the markets a bit overpriced relative to what may happen in terms of rising rates investors pulling money out of the stock market and into the bond market. that kind of volunteer the cash volatility, we have taken a lot of profits off the table and i'm hoping to get in actually the dip happened so quickly we didn't get a chance to buy in yesterday there was an amazing turnaround so i'm looking to try to get back in and i don't know if i will get the chance, stimulus checks coming i think the markets will lend higher, but we aren't out of the woods a sparse interest rates. stuart: is just not like you. unused or to bringing bringing you on the show and there goes shah gilani again, by big tech, by the dip and get in there while you can and all of a sudden i don't know if i'm getting it back in, i

don't know if it has come back too far from the dip. it's just not like you. blood disappointing some of our viewers, do you know that? >> i apologize and i'm definitely looking to get back in. i'm afraid we've taken too much off the table because i don't know if we will get the dip i was hoping for. now i will have to get in at higher prices. expecting some volatility in the bond market and we may get a chance to buy lower but was too nervous checks coming in may not be the case. stuart: you know, there are hundreds of thousands of viewers at this moment watching you do a mea culpa. we will see what you say next week. we do think you are alright, though and thank you for joining us let's get to a stock that has gone straight up and i would be gamestop, $270 a share. what's going on? susan: in terms of gamestop, we are looking at the longest

winning streak in six months already up 120% plus in the first 10 days of this month, looking at the highest since february 1, and there's a belief that the cofounder and now board member ryan will engineer a big turnaround at the company away from brick-and-mortar to online. it's been outperforming the other mean stop place in that it's going up with the nasdaq down where's the other rented place have sold off along with the nasdaq so that suggests may be gamestop may be more than a short squeeze with social media. big believer, growing kitty-- roaring kitty, $27 million and counting and he doubled down at the end of february and is proving to be a smart smart that. stuart: eight minutes into the show is so far we have talked exclusively almost about money. let's change the subject of this.

texas open for business starting today. all businesses can operate at 100% capacity in the mask mandate has been lifted. fox and friend weekend cohost will attain is at a diner in texas. wears a hat, does it seem like back to normal in texas, will? >> 's to her, i will put this on for you because you are my favorite englishmen. good american, stuart varney. how does it feel today? feels like the way it should, stuart. the truth is texas has always felt free. this is government mandates catching up to the culture, the way they want their life to begin here at bill smith café in texas is 100% capacity in the mask mandate is not in place. people are out responsible living their

lives. stuart, this is where i think your viewers will be interested, not just a business story but economy story. i am hearing when i grew up and when bill smith diner opened up it was a country road, country town and it's one of the biggest population growth towns and counties in the us took toyota, state farm had moved their national headquarters to collins county texas. and house does not sit on the market for more than a day or two people for their-- with their feet. they are moving texas from california, new york, everywhere, government catching up with people's desires in a move because they like it. stuart: i don't think people realize what a difference there is in texas and florida and other opened up states compared to the northeast. it's like day and night in terms of atmosphere. i like the hat by the way, will. a couple of guys in the background were making fun of that hat so you might want to take it off. >> who's making fun of that? stuart: the guy in the white shirt right there.

he was having a laugh at you. >> the one at the bar right there? he's kind of a big boy. i don't know if i want to mess with him. [laughter] stuart: we will see you later. thank you. texas has lifted the statewide mask mandate, but austin, texas, has kept it in place. customers are required to wear masks in businesses. violators won't be arrested, but you can face criminal charges if you refuse to leave if asked., wyoming is the latest. they opened up march 16 and today is the 10th. checking features. plenty of green, dow jones of nearly 200 with a solid game for the nasdaq. did you hear about this, we told you earlier and we'll tell you again. pierce morgan storming out the set of good morning britain after repeating meghan markle

stuart: futures show plenty of green. in fact, the green level is writing, up 180 odd points on the dow jones. you will hit 32000 today in the nasdaq up about 170, another rally. another move up for gamestop. and had been up about 15% early and now it's nearly 8%, but $266 is the gamestop quote of the moment. shall make campbell's soup, express and build their. they reported before the bell. start with campbell soup's highlight. susan: not buying as much a soup during the covid-- as during the covid locked down, sales will fall to two and have% this year.

covid lockdown to year ago when people were stockpiling. express, another mean stop play to kill the short up big in the premarket, up as much as 30%, higher sales and in january. he% of stock flow was a short itself the earnings may close off more shorts. then the bear, online sales more than doubling from last year helping insulate sales which took a smaller hit due to store closures in a less operating hours. build a bear is a tiny company which could be more a part for a short squeeze according to some analysts. stuart: i can see that and it's up 8%, could be involved in that now. i want to bring in the latest on the housing market with interesting stuff. howbeit-- housing mortgage applications up just 2% year-over-year. refinancing plunged, down 43% that's year on

a year, that's a effect of higher interest rates refinancing is much list attractive. a survey which i find fascinating, 40% of small businesses say they are scrambling as they can't find quality labor, 40%. john lonski is an economist. welcome back. why cancel business with 10 million people still unemployed find quality labor? >> well, the first reason would be some people are unwilling to work because they are fearful of covid-19. they may get sick, their family may get sick. of course, the other reason is the supplemental and implement benefits may have the effect of discouraging people from taking a job. what i am struck by is the fact that here we are less than one year into an economic recovery and we have a record high percentage of small businesses

claiming that job positions are hard to fill. was going to happen when the economy takes off? stuart: presumably, wages would rise. if you have to tempt people to come back to work maybe you tempt them with money. is about a possibility? >> money talks and in the month of february, that survey, that increase wages was relatively high, 25 points and that would average is something closer to 11-point so we already see a small businesses are under pressure to hike wages and salaries in order to attract employees and my guess is that pressure will only increase as the economy improves. stuart: but, we have no inflation at this point. the latest numbers say consumer prices at the consumer level went up

1.7% over the last 12 months, that's negligible, no inflation problem, do week? >> we don't right now but if you strip out energy prices, consumer prices are up by even smaller 1.3% annually. you have to be concerned. it could be that late this year, 2022, these inflation pressures materialize and what-- once we reached out for me because of wages and salaries consumers have an easier time observing price hikes and that's when you could get yourself in trouble with price inflation, that's precisely what happened in the 1970s. i remember showing up for work and for no good reason i would get a 10% salary increase simply to keep up with price inflation. stuart: john, those were the good old old days. john lonski, thank you. see you soon p the one

thing we have not checked-- we did briefly, bitcoin, 56400. susan: we are about 2000 away from record highs once again. i think people are bracing for the inflation figures. it shows we are still below the 2% federal reserve target so that means right now, we won't see higher rates at least and that means more risk on trade along with the tech stocks and i think that is moving bitcoin prices. i know you brought up some block chain minors and they should get a lift today thanks to the bitcoin prices nearing record highs again. stuart: there they go again, block chain up 10%. overall, we are looking at a rally at the opening bell which will take place in approximately seven and a half minutes.

big day yesterday, very big day again today, up one and a half percent. big tech, moving again, on the upper five. i notice microsoft, i have some of it and it's up $3, one and a quarter precent. big tech up again today. roadblocks, it's a gaming company. it's actually a game creator as well and it goes up public today with the direct listing. gregg smith is here and he knows about this. that's not gregg smith-- there is gregg smith. greg, listen to this, roblox whose losses are up 250% year on year. they lost $250 million over the last year. what's makes this so attracted to you? >> good morning. it's an exciting week

that we actually see incredible private companies to the public market that arts backpack. we will see roblox come to market today in a direct listing. what makes it so exciting, historically the videogame business has been dominated by publishers and where familiar with activision i've been around the industry for 20 years ago in 20 years ago he may see a publisher spend $5 million to produce one of these videogames hoping it would be a hit. today, $5 million probably wouldn't cover hair and makeup on one of these productions where they spent tens or hundreds of millions so what roblox has done is democratize the videogame creation process allowing our mentor schools, teenagers or anyone else that doesn't have or need coding skills to go out and create their own

games, put them for the world to play and share in the proceeds, so it's really an incredible platform. stuart: one of my grandchildren is into this. i have limited time and i had to get to the other when. the amazon of south korea. they go public tomorrow. you have a piece of it. 30 seconds to sell it to me. >> it's incredible. i have been an investor in the last seven years and it's the amazon of south korea. i think this will be one of the best received ipos of the year and i think it will trade at $100 billion. they have a lot on the south korean market, the market, phone, alibaba will have a hard time entering and also like roblox they had been it -- benefited from the pandemic so it will probably be a quarter billion dollar ipo. i think it's an incredible company to

watch. a great plan market. stuart: gregg smith, thank you. the opening bell is ringing and the guy from roblox is ringing that bill-- bell. we are off and running this wednesday morning. ) the get-go, up about 200 points dow jones, and the best enjoyed in the doubt 30 is in the green. how about the s&p 500? half of a percentage point up the dow jones, two thirds of 1% s&p so better percentage gain on the nasdaq, big day yesterday and another big day today, up one and a quarter precent. again stop them zero what a week that thing has had and it's up again 7% this morning, 264, gamestop.

3% higher, up more than that earlier but it's now-- i forget what it was, but amc is another frenzy stock up 3%, $10 a share. they report "after the bell". huge gain today, 30% on the upside, $24 a share and since we just opened the markets, show me big tech, microsoft, apple, alphabet, amazon all up this morning. apple, now they have a news. number one, they are planning to build a mini silicon valley in germany. but start there . how much are they investing? susan: a billion euros worth and they will build a chip design center so part of the push to develop their own chips and other wireless technology and that will open late next year also the stock was under pressure after news report for

the nikkei news reported apple is cutting its iphone 12 mini production by roughly 20% of the first half of the year. apparently the many not selling as well as the smallest iphone 12 offer and you are looking at the rendering of a new chip facility for apple. also, web bush is putting apple to its best ideas list for this year representing a great entry point for investors still targeting $175 over the next year for the stock. stuart: looks like it has stalled for now, down 121 as we speak. susan: you are so picky today because i think you are just spoiled with some of the bitcoin minors up 10 or 20% today. stuart: not to mention microsoft is up $3, spoiled yeah i got it but apple is 121. susan, it is show me ge

i think they have a split coming. susan: at the reverse stock split meaning reversing the stock supply. that means for every eight shares up there it will be reduced to one and when you reduce the stock supply at booths the stock price in the proposal is from ge's board and should be confirmed in its fourth shareholder's meeting another headline was the confirmation of 30 billion-dollar leasing deal with air in ireland already pretty much pressed into the stock when the journal reported at monday. it's a good move for ge to reduce its debt load. stuart: keep an eye on the markets overall, 230 dow jones and of about 1804 the nasdaq. moving to dow winners headed by walgreens, boeing, salesforce, american express and goldman sachs. all of them are up about one and a half percent

or more. s&p 500 winners headed by tesla up $41 today, 6%, $715 a share, tesla. how about the nasdaq winners, nasdaq-- sorry tesla is up there 6%. what else? the rest of them gaining nearly 3% across the board, nasdaq winners. how about eli lilly, a drugmaker it's up reporting positive results from an antibody cocktail treatment for covid, $206. combination therapy was shown in a late stage trial to reduce the risk of hospitalization and death by 87%, no wonder the stock is up here j&j come in the demonstration plans to buy an additional 100 million doses of its single shot vaccine.

stock is 1508. disney plus has hit a major milestone, 16 months after it was launched. susan, let me guess what this milestone is-- no, no, i will leave it to you. susan: its 100 million subscribers and i think we read the headlines. 16 months on disney plus and remember how long did it take netflix? i will read my script again. stuart: what did you say? susan: how long did it take netflix, took netflix a decade and disney plus a 16 months but what i found interesting was that because of the fact they didn't raise their 24 guidance for subscribers, still 260 million on disney plus. i thought they may increase the guidance for the market but it didn't happen. the stock didn't really

act-- react to that announcement and after reopening you heard the ceo on investor day say april is when they are to reopen disneyland to some visitors again i think that has helped the stock for the past week or so with the reopening theme has been pretty much priced in. stuart: reopening play, for disney i think and that's why up. next is harley-davidson, they reported their first chief electric vehicle officer. they are going to create a unit focused solely on electric bikes. i think i saw one yesterday in my neighborhood, harley-davidson $36 per share. quick review of various markets with the 10 year treasury yield 1.54%. price of gold as of now 1713. bitcoin $56000 per coin. 56400 is the quote and

stuart: there is that automatically invest your money in the company's where you spend your money. how about that? i went to bring in aaron froug the ceo of griffin , that is the name of the app. so i walk into a store, say lululemon and i buy a pair of yoga pants and i get a stock purchase and lululemon along with

my purchase of the pants in the money comes from my bank account. is that how your app works? >> yeah, that's the idea behind the app. we wanted to make it simple and human and to give people an opportunity to own the brand around their life so the way it specifically works is when you purchase at the company, you actually invest once per week so we wanted to make sure to protect people to not overdraft so let's say you make 10 purchases in a week and $10 from your account and invested. you make the purchase that lululemon and then he put 1 dollar in lululemon stock. stuart: okay. i got it. what you are doing this -- terrific idea. seems to me you're making it much easier for the retail investor, the little guy for want of a better word, to invest directly in

take out of my bank account? is everything else free? i don't pay you for the app example. >> commission free trading and it costs us more money to help people invest then we make. we do receive an asset under management fee based on the cash in the account, but it's controlled by our custodian. the interest rate is close to zero, so we basically make zero off of that. stuart: how many people do you have on the app right now? >> we postdate tiktok video last week and he went viral and we ended up getting 13 million views, two and a half million like so we got 150,000 iphone downloads off of that and we have an awesome like android wait list and we want to be able to offer to android as well and there's a current waste lists-- wait list. stuart: aaron froug, i'm glad you are on the show and in the

end of 2022. 2 million usenet's-- units, $12 for name per share and it feels like a fantastic story. this is 50% growth current expectations, so imagine the train of earning revisions coming through in the next couple of years and that's what makes us convinced that tesla stock will remain very elevated. today tesla trades 75 to -- stuart: pierre ferragu is a true believer and he's been that way for some time on this program, $900 for tesla in the next couple of years. thank you for being with us. a few moments ago we put a whole series of electric carmakers, chinese electric carmakers on your screen

, all significant percentage it gains today. it's a hot area. susan: definitely. nio, added a collective 13 and have billion dollars yesterday and as you can see they are doing it again today with a rotation back into growth momentum tech place along with tesla helping out the chinese ev names. that is good news when you bolster your balance sheet but i want to point out how you're just talking to pierre ferragu and talking about the future winners of the ev market with a kind of names trying to play for the same space. i would also note tesla has been winning the china market by cutting prices. they did it in the first few months of the year so they are doing the right thing over there. stuart: and they sure are with tesla doing the right thing, case closed. they are the leaders in this field and i'm told they make a good car.

suddenly? what is your analysis. >> part of the reason, stuart, is, the three-year auction went well. we have the 10-year treasury auction today. the 30 queries tomorrow. i can tell you a lot of large money managers are focused on what the outcome of this is going to be but seems like the fear of the inflation picking up and the fear that these bond auctions would not go well is over for the moment. as i told you on your show last time i was on with you, don't sell your microsoft. stuart: i won't. you're not exactly jumping into the equity market with both feet, not that you ever do but you're rather suspicious of this rally. you're suspicious of these lofty levels for stocks, i think, is that right? >> look, i'm a conservative investor. that is the just the kind of person that i am. i think everybody's portfolio, all individuals portfolio should

be partially appreciation plays which microsoft would be one or tesla would be one and partially they should be yield plays, cash flow plays that you can get in closed end fund market and the etf markets to some extent. you have to know what they're doing. they are complicated but you can get some double-digit yields right now in the chosed end fund market and a couple of the the etfs, and it is my opinion, it is sound and wise and safe for people to both have yield plays. i can tell you at b. riley, you asked me before, we have almost 200 wealth advisors that are very confident and, if people need some help in this they can get ahold of me mark grant @bloomberg.net. myself as firm delighted to help

them, in the appreciation plays and cash know and yield plays,. stuart: would you like to have a stab forecasting one year in advance where the dow is going to be in one year and when, where the yield on the 10-year treasury is going to be in one year? would you have a stab at that? >> you're putting me, your thumb is right on me here. i think the dow will be up about 5%. i think the treasury yield is very difficult to talk about because one or two things can happen. if we do see interest rates rise some more, i think the fed is going to be pressured by the government, that is part of the government. that the fed will be pressured by janet yellen to get more involved and either do an operation twist which means buying longer securities or even increasing the balance sheet to keep yields low. the truth of the matter is with the borrowing going on in terms of the programs that the biden

administration wants to put in place we're going to have more treasury supply and, the government can only support so much. so i think that very good chance that the fed is going to become more active to keep the bond yields low. so, i'm not looking for any big rise in the bond yields over the next year. stuart: fascinating. thanks very much for joining us. we do appreciate it, mark. come back soon because i like the idea of a five, just 10% gain for the dow in the next year. that would put it to around 35,000 or above. we like that. thank you, sir. >> take care. stuart: a moment ago we showed you on the screen so-called shorted stocks. they were all way, way up. i see we have nvidia on the screen. what are the rest of movers, please, susan. susan: biggest video chip game

>> well, stuart, you're not alone. recent "rasmussen poll" shows 52% of the country, 52%, think that biden may not be fit for the job. why is that? because of just exactly what you're talking about. we can't have a president still hiding in his basement. that is effectively, figley what they're doing. they cut the feed not once but twice. once when he was talking to the democratic caucus. one he was doing a roundtable. you have to wonder what is it that they are hiding there are other questions raised by this too. why is kamala harris so prominent all of a sudden? who is in charge? this is sort of the great guessing game in washington right now. who is setting the agenda? who is deciding what policies they should push forward on and

what they shouldn't? you know, more and more people are coming to the conclusion that biden is not in charge of this white house. stuart, he needs to get out in front of the american people and reassure them because this is a horrible situation. not just for biden but also for the country. stuart: wouldn't it be nice to see the white house press corps, the media itself, demand a press conference, demand answers to the questions which they legitimately have? sorry i'm out of time, liz, but i think we're dancing around a touchy subject here which we will return to, which is very important for our country. liz peek, thank you for joining us this morning. always a pleasure. i will go back to something else here. it was a wild scene. piers morgan, a british anchor after major league tv show there called, "good morning britain." he stormed off the set after

ashley? ashley: more than 100,000 migrants on the u.s.-mexico border over the past four weeks. that by the way, a five-year high for this time of year. now the massive surge has taken the biden administration by surprise and is now scrambling to provide resources for a very large number of children and families. more than 3200 unaccompanied migrant children are now in custody of customs and border protection. 3200 children. border authorities are encountering they say, 4,000 to 5,000 migrants every day, included in that are 500 unaccompanied children. so obviously a massive surge. critics say it should come as no surprise, because president biden has made it a priority to unwind the trump administration's immigration policies. and that is the result. chaos at the border, stu. stuart: yeah. he invited them in, ashley. thanks very much.

>> i'm not aware of any of the claim. as i said last week this is very simple. i never touched anyone inappropriately. reporter: but the "times-union" reports that the governor's office was made aware over the weekend and referred it to the state attorney general who is conducting an independent investigation. at least 76 new york state lawmakers and counting by the way, are calling for cuomo's resignation or impeachment. as six democratic state lawmakers wet a letter to governor cuomo demanding that he turn over all correspondence and documents pertaining to his book deal lauding his pandemic leadership skills. they want to know if the book deal was the motive behind his top aides reportedly altering nursing home data in a public report making the death toll appear lower than it actually was, weeks before that book was announced. daniel arbini, whose father was one of the 15,000 seniors that

died of covid-19 told fox news digital this, the best-case scenario the profits go to fund for grieving families. there should be a fund set up. como said he has in the past would donate some of the proceeds to covid-19 relief. there is no evidence of that. his acting counsel answered questions on cuomo's behalf on that press conference the first time since sexual harassment allegations arose. perhaps the advice from his lawyers since the scandal started. stuart: thank you. bryan. gregg jarrett, our legal guy for the moment. governor cuomo clearly has a huge political problem. my question to you as a legal analyst, greg, what is the next step legally? can he be forced out legally? >> sure he can and look, there is a legal process called the new york state constitution that lays out the process for impeachment. as bryan pointed out 76

lawmakers and growing are calling for his resignation or impeachment. so i think that will move full steam ahead as more acausers come forward. but he is also in criminal jeopardy on a couple of fronts. first of all the fbi and the u.s. attorney in new york are investigating obstruction of justice, fraud, conspiracy, false statements relating to the alleged coverup of thousands of nursing home deaths and so, you know, clearly he has sovereign immunity from making the initial decision but that does not cover him for things like obstruction of justice and fraud. and finally, you know, it is a crime under new york law in the penal code to forcibly touch some one at least, if not more of the allegations fit the legal description as well as the crime of harrassment in new york.

you have got those three fronts. i would add to that legally some of these accusers could file money damages lawsuits for sexual harrassment against the governor. he is in denial and so far has offered nothing but anemic denials, insipid rationalizations, vacuous excuses. it won't wash. he is in deep trouble, stu. stuart: gregg jarrett, thank you very much indeed. appreciate you being here. gregg, thank you, sir. still holding that rally, bottom right-hand corner. the dow is up 250. all right, ah, ah, the power of a pizza review. roll tape. >> 8, 9, kala brea love the pizza. as good of a thin pizza as i ever had. stuart: that guy is really good on tv he just saved a business with his pizza review. he is on this show today at

latest acquisition. it would be the biggest factory in chicago, maybe you see it back there. it is now home to more than 100-year-old chicago steel company. they just bought it. if they're having trouble with the union down in alabama, can you imagine in a union town like chicago what would happen? in terms of the battle down in alabama the union now says that more than 1000 workers from around the country have contacted it about spreading the union elsewhere. take a look at this statement to "the washington post," also by jeff bezos as well as amazon. more than 1000 amazon workers from around the country have reached out to the rwdsu, retail, wholesale, department store workers union, seeking information about working at their work places, unionizing their work places. it would be a huge blow to amazon if that were to happen. a company, in a statement to fox business says, in terms of

alabama, we don't believe the rwdsu represents the majority of our employees views. our employees choose to work at amazon because we offer some of the best jobs available. it is hard to argue with that, stuart. you look down in alabama. they offer $15.30 as a starting wage, minimum wage down there is $7.25. they also offer health, vision, dennal insurance to new employees. they say they treat their employees well. amazon is, well, it is an amazon. if you look at the map, they have got these fulfillment centers in 33 states across the country. 110 of these fulfillment centers. if the union were to come there, whoa!, that might really change the way they do business. but you know, in chicago, i don't know how you operate without a union but i guess we'll find out. stu? stuart: maybe. all right, jeff, thanks very much indeed.

gamings and gaming company. i was told they're going out $45 a share, right? susan: direct listings you have a reference price, priced at least $45. looks like right now indicated open is 65 to $70. so that means, what, is that 30%? almost 40% up from the reference rate? that is pretty much in line with the first day explosive debuts for unicorns. last year was over 36% on day one. that is the highest average we've seen since the dot-com bubble going back 20 years. we're on track for something pretty similar and kids game-maker. 33 million daily active users. almost doubled last year. 50% of the users are younger, 13 years, much younger than that. a great company democratizes game development. me and you can develop our own games and get paid for it.

they paid out 1200 of these developers. but at a 30 billion-dollar valuation, stu that is almost seven times what roblox raised cash at 11 months ago. opportunistic, right? given rally we've seen. close to record levels for nasdaq and technology. stuart: real fast, susan when they go out with a direct listing who gets the money? susan: they do. early investors and early employees. they are not raising cash. this is a not an inpe. this is opportunity for early investors to got out. which is better because the ipo process may be broken only rewarding wall street hedge funds that get in, make the quick turnaround, fast money in 24 hours. stuart: thank you, susan. let's watch this again. big time british tv news anchor piers morgan storms off the set of "good morning britain." he was challenged on his meghan markle comments. he is now leaving the show. ash, what more do we have on

this story? ashley: well this outspoken co-host, he is not adverse to controversy is he, piers morgan? he is out of the morning show in the uk. during a heated discussion on the broadcast, morgan said he didn't believe a word meghan markle said. adding he wouldn't believe her if she read him the weather report. that led to an argument with the colleague, the weathercaster no less, on set who suggested morgan was really more upset because markle had ditched him as a friend. take another listen. >> has she said anything but since she cut you off? i don't think she has yet you continue to trash her. >> okay, i'm done with this. sorry. sorry. >> no. maybe, see you later. >> i'm being -- >> sorry, can't do this. >> absolutely, diabolical behavior. ashley: sorry, can't do this i'm out of here. later in the day morgan actually officially quit the show, ofcom, uk media received 41,000

complaints over morgan's comments. a number of mental health groups are criticizing him for not believing markle's experiences about having suicidal thoughts. today morgan remained defiant. he said the cancel culture has not silenced him. take a listen. >> i believe in freedom of speech. if i have to fall on my sword for expressing an honestly held opinion about meghan markle and that diatribe of bilge she came out with the interview, so be it. the woke crowd, they think they have canceled me. i think they will be rather disappointed. when i reemerge. ashley: diatribe of bilge, boy there is an expression. he remains defiant to the very end. that is piers morgan, stu. stuart: i would defend him. not like me to defend piers morgan because i disagree vigorously with him before but i would defend him. that is free speech. if that is the way he thinks, he is paid to offer opinions, get

on with it. why the investigation? because he was harsh? whoopteedoo. can't take that? it is pathetic, pathetic in my opinion. ashley: agreed. agreed. stuart: that's us. good. we better move on, ash, before we get in real trouble here. arizona highway checkpoints shut down so agents can help deal with the migrant influx. it is still not a crisis to the white house. just a challenge. ben domenech here on that after this. ♪. some say this is my greatest challenge ever. but i've seen centuries of this. with a companion that powers a digital world, traded with a touch. the gold standard, so to speak ;)

arizona checkpoints saying they're overwhelmed by the migrant surge. fox news contributor ben domenech is with us now. ben, it is a crisis, it is exploding. do you have any idea what this administration will do about what to me amounts to an invasion? >> i don't think they have any idea themselves because this is a direct and predictable consequence of the policies that joe biden supports. that's really going to put them in a bind. you need to keep in mind how much of this is motivated not just by his policies but by the interests of the mexican cartels which are engaged in a real business practice in engaging in this human migration effect. you may have seen reporting at "the federalist" and confirmed by reuters just the other day about the fact that the cartels are now using wristbands allow them to prove the people coming across these various migrants paid the right cartel in order

to be safe when they are crossing. that is how much this is something that is being tracked and it is fueling a cartel war going on across our southern border this is something unfortunately the biden administration, with their policies is absolutely incentivizing. it only means more money for that drug war, for that conflict that endangers a lot of people along our southern border. stuart: we're not allowed to ask questions. the media cannot ask this president questions about that or anything else. now i editorialized on the show, i don't know whether i've seen this or not it seems they're hiding something. if they're protecting him, no questions at all, no, no, can't answer questions, they're protecting him from something. is there something wrong with the president? >> look i think that we are reaching a point now where we have to be open about asking this question because we know the kind of softballs he got during the campaign from the media that is mostly going to be nice to him, compliant, throwing

out, i think some questions that will be much softer than the ones that were faced by president trump f they're not even willing to put him out to face that kind of treatment, what does that tell us what they think would come from that situation? if is handlers around him are not willing to put joe biden out there to talk to the american people with this and other issues in an unscripted way a lot of us have to raise concerns about his state of mind and his dedication, his plan for us frankly to deal with all the different challenges. stu, i want to say, echoing your previous segment, i completely agree with you about piers morgan. if you're paid to be on tv to offer your opinions that should not result in the kind of complaint we saw, absolutely everyone should be able to free to question meghan markle or anyone else in terms of expressing disbelief. stuart: i can't believe that the brits who have a lot to do with free speech, it is the mother parliament of free speech, they're the ones who are now investigating piers morgan for

his comments about the duchess of sussex. i find that absolutely unbelievable. i'm very glad you agree, ben. >> totally. stuart: i have known piers morgan a long, long time but i am on his side. >> disagree with him on things, absolutely. we should be free. stuart: on american television, he said, he pitied americans because they're all attached to their guns. i think he called us stupid at one time. i editorialized against that but i'm with him right now. ben, it was a pleasure. thanks for being with us. see you again soon i hope. yes, sir. big hour, still ahead, look what we have for you, including interview with barstool's dave portnoy. he is back on the show. i think we're in a turning point in this pandemic. yeah, i think we are, but who gets the credit? it should be president trump but i think it is going to be president biden. i think he got lucky. my take coming up, top of the hour.

stuart: a great voice. 11:00 on the east coast and it is wednesday march 10th all day. the markets, real volatility on the nasdaq. i checked ten minutes ago and it is down. at "the opening bell" it was up 160 and now the nasdaq is up 45 points. look at it now. where is it right now? microsoft is up. apple, alphabet, amazon, facebook are down after yesterday's big rebound. does this have anything to do with the big tech treasury going up a tiny fraction? one.5%, i don't think it has anything to do with the market at this moment. that is a sidebar issue. 153, the 10 year treasury. and now this.

a sweet spot, we are at a turning point in the pandemic. the economy is expanding rapidly. more than 2 million vaccinations each and every day, restrictions ending, in many parts of this country it feels like we are almost back to normal. my opinion it is donald trump and republican governors who got us here but it is president biden will take the credit. like it or not it is president biden who is in the oval office just as we come out of and recover from covid. i think he got lucky. he didn't develop vaccines in record time. he didn't open up texas or florida which are now booming and he didn't open schools. he didn't do anything while his fellow democrats were making a mess of new york, california, illinois and all the other lockdown states but he will sign the $1.9 trillion covid relief package which delivers checks to just about everyone. that is the clincher. that makes you popular.

i call it a successful vote buying strategy. the time is perfect for biden. dreadful for trump. just as republican policies succeed the president gets to make an address from the oval office and take the credit. not taking question, hasn't a clue what to do about the crisis at the border but he has gotten lucky. just as his predecessor's policies and your taxpayer money make him look good. the third hour of "varney and company" is about to begin. ♪♪ stuart: silly rally across the board. it is up and down for the nasdaq but at the moment on the upside to the tune of almost 1.5%. mark tepper joins us now. i want to talk roadblocks. it could be the stock of the

compliment. for a youngster you are all right. and it is an op-ed from doctors in usa today. the cdc misinterpreted our research, it should loosen the rules. lawrence is really passionate about this getting back to school, back to in classroom learning. i want to know why we don't have all schools all over the country open right now with teachers teaching in the classroom. >> that is the bottom line. we saw from the cdc and anthony

fauci they were honest about this until the big lobbying got involved, it is proven based on the science the kids can return to school. the teachers unions are asking for additional stuff to make them safer and when the school district have done that they still don't want to open. we've seen school districts tell their teachers they should hide when they are on vacation. don't put them on social media. we've seen teachers union presidents figure kids to charter schools and private schools while the actual kids in public school aren't allowed the damage ineffectiveness will be catastrophic. we started to see it. kids started to cry. not only from a mental standpoint, kids are missing

scholarships, what was never reported is what this does is to society as a whole moving forward. it is estimated that these could make 6% to 10% less in their career because of this missed year but no one is talking about it because it is not a sexy topic. i don't think it is sexy having kids in the school -- miss school. it is sad and the teachers union need to be held accountable. stuart: i blame president biden because he hasn't stepped in forcibly and said get back to work. he should be saying that. >> he can say that but he's not going to say it because it is a powerful union, democrats overwhelmingly supported by this. stuart: time for a change over. i want to talk about something i find difficult to talk about it that is the president of the united states hiding from questions and i want to know

why he is hiding. i suspect in some way his performance is just not up to the job and i am wondering if you share my feelings here. it is hard to talk about it but do you share them? >> it is not hard to talk about because i stay away from medical diagnosis because i'm not a doctor but i believe my eyes and i believe my ears and what i do know is joe biden was once known as the greatest retail politician. they wanted him talking with people because that is what he did well. he could talk about anything at any point. they are not doing that. that suggests there is a problem. every time he goes on the record he has some type of gas, forgetting things. i can't talk about the science of this because i don't know. i do see a problem and this

shield his staff is creating, we did see as one point when the staff tried to control the environment that he tried to do it anyway. that tells me there's a big problem and americans are entitled to hear from their president. the reason this is being discussed is you had a former president with so much access, he was old in age as well and he was able to connect with the people even with an unfavorable press. the question is when you have a press that is by and large in the tank for this president and still don't want to take questions americans are asking questions. stuart: i'm glad you addressed this and we appreciate it. >> you do look young. i know you are 73 but you are doing quite well. stuart: flattery is the milk of

summer of last year. this is the right call. i have been talking to farmers and ranchers all morning and even now the biden administration is doing its best to shut things down. and the rest of the economy's open, they need to talk to the farm surgeons these, it is maddening with our economy being open but schools opened. i wish the rest of the country would do so. stuart: what do you make of austin, texas which will enforce the mask mandate until april 15th? >> i said this before, this is why it is important to have the local community leaders make those decisions and not have a mandate from dc which in the case of a mask mandate of austin's mayor wants to do that he will be held accountable by their citizens. in our communities we will do the smart and safe thing,

luckily a quarter of the texans right now have been vaccinated, 50% of seniors. stuart: it is amazing the difference it makes when you take the masks off. you can understand what the other person is saying and feeling because you can see their face. makes an enormous difference. i can't wait to walk around without masks. can't wait to do it. forgive me for changing the subject abruptly but i've got to because this is important. the white house denies that there is a crisis at the border but in arizona, roadblocks taken away because they are overwhelmed with migrants. what is the situation in texas? >> 500 families a week were crossing the border, now we have 2500. not sure how you classify a crisis at the white house, the governor rightly so is taking action. this is a federal issue, not a

state issue. i will be at the border looking at the issues but it is very disappointing to see the biden administration not responding to something even democrat mayors are begging the president to do something different because they are not claiming it is a crisis, they don't identify with the people. it is a national security issue not to mention the effective covid. stuart: what in your opinion should be done at the border? >> let's acknowledge it is a crisis. second let's take up the policies we had in the previous administration where we don't let people come to this country illegally and then let them out in the united states, the remain in mexico policy, catch and release is not the right thing so let's identify the situation and call it what it is. it is a crisis. the fact they won't do that shows where they stand which is not security and safety of americans but the welfare of

other countries and other people, not our own citizens. stuart: thanks for joining us, we wish you well at the border. have a look at them. a nice game for the dow up 350, modest gain for the nasdaq and the s&p. tell me about kathy would. you free chert her over the last couple weeks. what does she say about the coin and traditional portfolios? >> we talk about her and look at what she says and what she buys and what she adds and removes in her portfolio. for years investment advisors put 60% of your money in stocks, 40% in bonds. no longer the case in 2021. the 60/40 our location is dying good.

here are the adjustments, 60% of your money in stocks, 20% bond, 20% in bit coin. what do you think of that? stuart: 20% in big coin, seems like a very very big number for anybody. >> that's not the only recommendation. the 60-40 split is dying because they are living and 0 rates and in the past could get 8% return on bonds the last 30 to 40 years. after the financial crisis, the interest rates, only getting one% to 2% a year of the past 10 years in bonds. that doesn't cover inflation but most people say look for higher returns elsewhere and where do you get those returns? stocks. the returns of the markets in the past year. stuart: back in the day 60/40, stocks, bonds in your 60s in 70s. that does not work any longer.

you can't do that. safety of bonds okay but with 0 rates. >> we might be transitioning as you said, a generational shift, bit coin might play a large part of that portfolio going forward. stuart: i don't deny it, you may be absolutely right. here we go. las vegas casinos could be popping up on the east coast. we will tell you when and where it could happen. barstool guy fortknowy has this pizza review. >> 8 or 9 spectacular -- it is our view. stuart: he is good on tv, this guy. the pizza place says they are now flooded with orders. portknowy next.

so i wonder, what would have happened if lee had put $12,850 in cash and then put $12,850 in gold in a safe, just sitting there side-by-side from 1976 until now. well, i went back and i ran the numbers and what i found was amazing. we all know that $12,850 in cash would still be sitting there but it would be worth a whole lot less than it was in 1976. but that $12,850 in gold, safely stored away, it's worth $135,000 as of the taping of this commercial. now that's more than 10 times the original amount. - [narrator] if you've bought gold in the past or would like to learn more about why physical gold should be an important part of your portfolio, pick up the phone and call to receive the complete guide to buying gold which we'll provide you important, never seen before facts and information you should know about making gold, silver

of that, $800 million, annual revenue by more than half. and the first quarterfinal game, at halftime they decided to cancel the rest of the tournament. in 1980, in madison square garden, the conference tournament at any state in college basketball. they are giving some tickets to family members and each team is a lot of a certain amount of those. we have a full slate of games, georgetown versus market,

xavier versus butler, providence, at the last game. i threw a lot of information at you. i am going to say the biggest take away is you can watch it all on fox sports. stuart: have you filled in your bracket in office pool? >> looking at the 2018 champ. i won and couldn't get anything. it has been two years and i didn't get bragging rights. see you soon. show me please, penn national gaming. bring in barstool sports founder dave portnoy, you're launching this barstool sports book, tell me more.

>> in michigan and pennsylvania, chicago, illinois tomorrow at noon and abby, the brackets don't come up yet. they don't come out until next week. she rented but the brackets aren't out. stuart: what a guy, portnoy. you are -- you have the sports book, you entered three states. so what? what does that mean? how do i take part in this? >> it is like marijuana.

it is legalized state-by-state. it is legal in illinois. as states become legal the barstool sports book, we roll it out and conquer whatever state we are in because unlike a lot of competitors, we want to go along with the action. it's not up to us. i wish every state was illegal but it is a state issue, not a federal issue. stuart: it is going to expand. they need the revenue. >> they need the pack revenue. stuart: you are quite right. it is like marijuana. exactly the same thing. they need the tax revenue and they will get it somehow or other. you see game stop up $72, 29%, 318. are you still in it or did you sell out completely? >> it pains me to watch it. i have paper hands. i wish i held it. i didn't hold it. it goes up every day and i am hit with buyers remorse.

i wish i had it but i don't. stuart: you are an honest man. tell me about forward, one of the biggest holdings and you hold, not the kind of stock by associate dave portnoy with. ford motor company. >> i have a ford bronco, doesn't really run but that is the misnomer, it is not just what you think of highflying internet stocks, it is one of the most positively talked about on the internet so that has been lost a little bit but the internet talks about all companies, traditional companies or game stop. you talk about everything in between. people like to talk about the stock market, not just what people perceive as internet stocks but real companies, ford, twitter, stocks that are big in our holdings so it is a wide range.

stuart: okay. i bet you really drive a bentley, don't you? >> i'm not a car guy, just told you. 1974 bronco, yellow, as pretty as a picture, looks like it belongs in a painting but it doesn't run. stuart: i will leave that subject and move on to pizza. your pizza review saved a new jersey restaurant with your one bite review of these pizzas gives you power. how did you get so much power and leverage? >> it was organic the growth. i've been doing it monday through friday. unlike the water of youth, everything is great.

this, can often be opaque and they want a hearing whether they are and justly trapped in these types of conservatorships. britney spears is a classic example of what is going on, her own interests being best served. stuart: didn't know about that. las vegas strip casinos could be coming to new york city. which casinos are we talking about? any idea when they might get an open? >> i thought you would ask me about britney spears which i can educate you on. they are all quietly, lawmakers might offer free gaining license, lower hudson and long island and that might happen

this year in 2023 which was the plan. two of these gaming license will go to companies that already are okay to run slot machines in the area so those licenses are taken. that means one they hope to get by selling off their vegas strip properties in the winning bidder will spend 2 to $4 billion with legislators asking for a convention center but who has the cash called to do that? sam's is a front runner. stuart: quick check of the big board with a 400 point gain for the dow industrials, 32,200, a new intraday high, back after this. ♪♪ you can spend your life in boxing or any other business, but one day, you're gonna take a hit you didn't see coming. and it won't matter what hit you.
