We have to start with GoDaddy (GDDY) - surging out of the gate this morning. The provider of Web domains and URLs debuted on the New York Stock Exchange today to much fanfare-- you may have even seen spokeswoman Danica Patrick doing pushups on the exchange floor.

Apple (AAPL) shares are down slightly today as we get the first analyst projections on smart watch sales. This morning, influential Apple analyst Gene Munster released his forecast - saying Apple would sell 1 million watches during its opening weekend. Pre-orders start in just 10 days. If those numbers play out, the company would be on track to sell 2.3 million watches in the quarter. Munster has an overweight rating on the stock with a $160 price target.

However, those gains weren't enough to boost sales for the company overall. GM (GM) also saw sales decrease from last year, whereas Fiat Chrysler (FCAU) eked out a small sales increase.
