Everybody on the desk likes visa. Yeah. And with good reason. And you cant fault jim for saying what he did considering what the stocks continue to do. Oh, certainly. I mean, these are two bellwethers really in terms of getting financial exposure you know, we had long talked about, well, how do you get the financial exposure do you look at the Big Five Banks .
