I think the dow was down 15 at one point in december last year we were having a great year. Markets were up, not up like they are this year. Bottomed on christmas eve, december 24th and saw things take off from there. Its been a very strong year. Will a santa claus rally power the s p 500 and dow to their best year in a generation . Could happen. Were up a lot. What will that take to get there, 5 . Pro

The second part is the establishment of the proof of concept authorization. So while the division one changes would create the prohibition on operating without a permit or approval by the city, the proof of concept authorization would provide the clear path for a company to work with the city.
