Good MorningMeme stocks took center stage in the Wednesday trading session with AMC leading the way soaring 95% prompting several halts in trading for volatility. Bed, Bath & Beyond was up over 62 % and Blackberry spiked up 32% on heavy trading.

After a huge miss, last month on the jobs reports the market is signaling a wait and see position this month. Featured: Sell these "safe" blue chips immediately (Ad)
