Moves down again. Tom im looking for an entry point here. Purves ofael tallbacken make a separation of the equity activity we saw yesterday from bonds, and particularly from fx. Kit juckes said the same thing as well. This is very discrete to the equity markets yesterday. See it with the vix in almost two points some hour or so ago. Some improvement there. Jon i would agree with that. The japanese yen did nothing in the last 24 hours. Treasuries did nothing in the last 24 hours. The question we have to ask, is it just an equity event, or does it raise really serious questions about folio construction from here on .
