That caused a bit more of a selloff in stocks and it underscores why the nasdaq continues to have a bit under it yes, it does clearly and youre also seeing a little bit of a fallback in yield, scott. The tenyear is pushing back towards 70 basis points, somewhat troubling, i would think the market needs a little bit of some of the Forward Momentum that its been carrying in the last week or so to really cool off a little. I think we were getting a little too vertical in the way we were appreciating so the negative news that youre getting on the stimulus aligns with maybe a much needed little bit of pause in that rate of appreciation im not overly concerned by it. Yeah, rates are falling you see it there 71 basis points is where we are on the tenyear, an issue to deal with, tiffany, or perhaps the message in the fall.
