Nasdaq 100 shows a little bit of persistency, with green on the screen. Jonathan 18 basis point trading range on the treasury yield. It is the election map everyone feared they might wake up to, confronted with the idea that you might have to wait maybe a few more days. Lisa theres several maps that are the worst Case Scenario for markets. We have the potential for a contested election, but also looking like the democrats will be unable to win the senate. Not yet determined, but that is the map. If you look at the Electoral College, it is the path to 270. Former Vice President joe biden currently racking up 238 of those votes, versus 213 of President Trump. It is going to be up to wisconsin, michigan, georgia, pennsylvania, nevada.

Third quarter revenue down last, but still up 4 versus last year. We have definitely turned the corner because declines in the top line and bottom line are less bad than it was in the second quarter.
