Thanksgiving coma and the ending the threeday losing streak are a set of records around the corner or this rally a flash in the pan. First of all, welcome. Thank you. [ applause the man. The momentum killer i just drop the hammer on momentum up. We call these the ifbs they told me in your name that your name at hq is c. Quint. We might take the quint thing. So, quint, to answer the original question today was a flash in the pan december 15th columns. The december levies the tariffs, the market goes down i would think it trades down to 30, 90 or so handles from where we are now and then another conversation but today was a bounce from the market down three days steveo.
