It felt kind of bad and here we are and weve actually gone into positive territory for some of the indices. Were seeing north korea acting up again but nothing has really happened. Until you see hopefully nothing really happens, the markets are going to go up and down and then hopefully we just get passed this again and we look at earnings earnings are going to drive this market nothing is happening meaning the bomb didnt land on land and so, therefore, the markets are saying, you know what, every dip you buy . I think thats what youre seeing so far unless you see a real attack.
