i want to talk about the present tense because it s all related. there was a meeting in the late 1990s or a series of meetings of legislations and deals made, ultimately travelers became citigroup, swaps market was invented, all these thipgngs. we saw the money machine get turned out instead of acknowledging the failure of the experime experiment. it s now 2012. the same experiment is now failing in europe. the euro was invented by the same people in the same context at the same time to do the same thing. is this an opportunity in the and i know this is well outside of your jurisdiction, but is there an opportunity for us in the stakes to benefit from the reexposure coming through you were, through jpmorgan, to
