First of all were very happy well talk about the facts in a second and i want to reassure investors that the family is a big fan of conservative land investment. We want to be disciplined and we dont want to go back to the big land buying days. Theres been sames made about how we want to change a big directionment we just juan a new leader so let me just say that about the conservative smart growth that our family wants and reensure investors that we want that. But let me tell you scott. Richard has been a family friend of the family. We didnt bother him for the last several years but from 2004 to 2015 on acumulative basis the pretax earnings of the business have been a loss of over 400 million and thats very concerning for us.

After the bell, a read with American Express, united continental, qualcomm and more. Just to name a few. We begin with oil hitting a 26year high as the president meets in saudi arabia. Just under 43 a barrel today. Significant. Its not as low as we were earlier in the year. 26. Its still not at the 60, 70, 80 that people are talking about. Oil prices are still low.

Great britain is building a 300 Million Research vessel and in the spirit of democracy, they are letting the public choose its name, which it turns out was a bad idea. An online contest to help name a british Research Vessel has gone a little bit offcourse. The top choice for the name so far is Boaty Mcboatface. laughter trevor Boaty Mcboatface this is why i love democracy. Also the reason democracy doesnt work. laughter you let the people have a say, and what they say is Boaty Mcboatface. laughter no, heres the thing, i love the name. Its very funny.
