son when he was 13 years old he gave me a lot of winners. thank you very much we are holding a pretty good, the nasdaq was a pretty strong earlier, i'm going to watch that as we head into the final hour of trading. that could be the key yesterday it was up and that does not happen too often, liz claman this market has been remarkable the last six sessions. liz: bitcoin features just punched above 67000. we have all of this, records all around the dow and the s&p 500 in a wicker of all-time highs in the final minute of trades can they close there? bitcoin already pulled up a trick as a hikes above the record and rockets above the actual crypto 66650 right now will he or will he not appear, the guessing game is on it tesla

earnings. will elon musk ditch which has become one of the most earnings conference call the quarter. stocks running up and investor expectations run up too high? tesla bull of gerber stock, not necessarily what the stock is going to do but how not to get burned by any numbers, over an hour from now micron revealing a massive effort of the global ship shortage a one-time event. we'll talk to the ceo about the 150 billion-dollar chip investment plan as vaccines for kids and booster shots appear imminent were talking to the founder of hip-hop public health how he has used superstars to help minority communities get into the groove when it comes to covid shots. if the fox business exclusive. twitter lights up after charlie thought i needed the sec report man's plain to me yesterday.

charlie is back we will replay that chats. i will try to explain the report that i saw, you have to stay tuned. we begin with two major breaking business stories the dow and s&p have both crashed through the all-time records. today can they close there when the bell rings and 59 minutes is the question. blue chips about their august record at 12:23 p.m. and right now were up 162 points, the dow needs 168 points to clock the record. the s&p needs to be up 17 points we were to been there and done that the session. right now that's exactly where it is up 17. take a look at bitcoin going to the moon the original crypto skyrocketing to april record of 63800 and now stands at 66650 per coin propelled by yesterday's debut of the etf by proshares who strategist told us

makes exposure to bitcoin mainstream easy. >> a regular etf provides a robust solution for investors and one that they can plan their brokerage account trade like a stock and that's a solution that a lot of people have been waiting for. liz: yesterday the etf was around 40, 41 now it's at 4355, years of regulatory red tape before being approved, up 3.8% we rt minus 57 minutes until tesla enters the witching hour where it reports quarterly numbers. we know they had a very impressive 27% jump in china sales for september 5, 6006 cars sold but will that be enough to push earnings to faster climbing investor expectations? so much to handle news breaking left and right let's get right to the floor show trader tesla

bull russ gerber, let me get right to this have investors expectations run up too much and had investors avoid getting singed by any surprise even a beat that is not enough of that be? >> we seen that a lot with the stock market and netflix, you report a great quarter and the stock sells off you have to look at the stock in the context of how it's performed in the last 30 or 60 days if we get a selloff as a buying opportunity and that's been our strategy lately when stock reports great earnings and he gets sold for no reason we will just buy after earnings and then they rebound the next day. liz: i'm amazed of tesla's stick to it of this into crash and blow past them year after year after year many of these people who feel they should be shorted say it such a momentum name it

so geek to but guess what they are continuing to roll these things off the assembly line are they not at a record pace, what is the man what can you tell us about demand? >> the demand is unbelievable right now that's really awesome for tesla it's an issue of how many cars can they make because the demand is unlimited at this point many other so-called competitors have been unable to scale production as much as i'm excited neither have been able to make cars in any scalable amount. we are super bullish on tesla for good reason because the cars are phenomenal. that is what were looking for the new refresh model s, that should boost margins in the quarter so were optimistic that will be on that, and record of delivery the large-cap company

in the world and they are growing at 100% year-over-year and they continue to grow. liz: let's bring in brad mcmillan $232 billion and under management. for the broader market we had a seller start turning seasons, one would think all the inflation in anxiety, supply-chain snafus might neutralize some of that where is the tailwind, how what is and how long will it last? >> when we look back these earnings are backward looking they go to the third quarter and in july we all thought the pandemic was over, that is not the case. in july everybody was a lot more confident, these earnings are great there working through that and everything's are going to slow down we will see growth slow, spending and earnings down, i think there will be an adjustment back to normal in the fourth quarter i think that's why we got the recent weakness

in the market there is a sense that maybe it will not be as good going forward as it has been. liz: i forgot year after year. >> that's not what i'm seeing at all. here in los angeles i have never seen in my life every event is sold out, every sports event is sold out, every concert sold out i have never seen demand like this, we expect the largest christmas season in the history of christmas even santa claus will have a supply-chain problem when it comes to christmas i've never been more of bullish on the u.s. economy they trade money, they give it to people and they spend it. liz: we know how dangerous inflation is and it does not look like it is transitory, we have said that for nine months on the show how do you see it and how do you see it affecting investor sentiment. >> let's look at inflation, it is year on year but it's settling in to be harder going forward in the fed is starting

to react to that. when you look at wage growth, that is staying high and it is going to go higher when you look at the demographics. something has changed there. we are going back to the 50s, where you will have a single earner family and that is great but that does not do anything good for the labor force, so labor costs are going up. when you look at supplies santa will not have a supply-chain problem i hope you're right, but what will he do to confidence when people can't get all the toys that they want because they're sitting in a ship outside of l.a. liz: we have to run, finish the thought, brad. >> we have companies hiring planes to bring goods in that is not a sign of a healthy supply chain or an area where inflation is going to pull back. liz: ethics supply-chain. great discussion, check the dow and s&p we are right there for
