But brad, welcome, its good to see you again. Great to see you. Thanks for having me. I wonder as a tech investor what you make of the nasdaq and that sector the last few days. Is it a simple correction or something more you probably saw last night i tweeted, pullback . What pullback . Precovid the multiple on the soft way growth index was about ten times sales it peaked about a week ago today were at 13 time sales were still 30 higher valuationses in software than we were before the paechbd. The same is true for growth internet precovid about 23 times next years ebitda. We peaked at about 35 times next years ebitda. Today were still at 32 times, so heart will hardly a correction in my books. Do you think some of these stocks got simply out of control in the way they went up parabolically .

The world has been turned upside down and the market doesnt steam to care. So if youre an investor, should you make like a tree and get out of there i am told thats a funny line from the movie youve never seen the movie i saw it. The movie was released in the summer of 85. I think i turned 50 that year. It dawned on me as i listened to your intro the economy is george mcfly. Th
