Investors have reverted to seeking growth regardless of the state of the economy. That was the under current behind the averages down gaining a point. And then nasdaq advanced 0. 19 . Where did we see growth . Today it came in three sectors, bio tech, housing and the group i like to describe as the cold stocks.

The senate. I congratulate him on his comparable career in the i wish him the very best. Senate incomparable career in the senate. I wish him the very best. I would like to say two other words here.
