Transformed . Thanks chris. Its a great to be here with you too. I have been at nasa in the 1990s working under the nasa administrator at the time dan golden who was actively and successfully in many ways working to transform nasa. I had previous to that worked for a grassroots organization. That was really interested in returning human space flight to more than just a handful of astronauts and nasa had sort of lost. Its way i think after the shuttle accidents when they didnt. Have the ability to get more people into space for lower costs more reliably. That was the goal of the shuttle. So coming back to nasa as the deputy administrator in the Obama Administration. I thought it was very natural goal to want to continue that transformation process and president elect obama happened to agree. So it says my quest because its a memoir, but its a lot of peoples quest for decades and thats why i wrote the book. Well, lets open that up for a minute. You say that nasa had lost its way. I mean
During the spring months . One thing i do is a mid course correction and see how the year has gone. This year weve seen the high flyers come down. Weve seen Interest Rates be a lot steadier than people thought. So you take a look at some of the stocks that are working and some of the stocks that are not and try to make a move here and there. Ive been buying oil, European Companies and also stocks that are in transportation and industrial seem to be more popular. Some of the high flyers really came down so ive been choosier about that sector of the economy. What about volatility in the market. Is it typically high or typically low this season . Volatility tends to rise and have these sudden spikes in the late spring and sometimes in the summer. I know a lot of people think its in the fall but ive seen the biggest volatility spikes in what people think are gonna be the quiet months of the year. Matt will this be a year to sell in may and walk away . I think a lot of people started sellin

Laurie garver, its a pleasure to be here with you. Thank you so much. Were excited for your new book escaping gravity.
