Tom jon will get to the data of a market lifting and all of that. This ecb announcement a bit ago is buried, and im sorry, it just sets up the theme of extend and pretend into 2021. They are going to extend bond buying forever and ever. It is Central Banks to the rescue. Jonathan the ecb wants you to focus on the duration of the Bond Buying Program and not the size of the package they might announce this week. That has been a big push on the communications side. I imagine that will be the focus for them when they communicate with us. For us, we are all getting used to the idea that Central Banks will be there for us. Weve been conditioned by that all year. The biggest challenge through 2020 was to somehow divorce how you feel about the world around you from your view on financial markets, on where we will be 12 months out. Th
