august difficult due earnings fed focus front given great hike investors looking message outlook percent political positive rate securities selective year
The real short-term outlook for us is pretty positive given that we don't see a Fed rate hike in August and that due to political noise, if you will, we are not going to see a rate hike in October.

We think it is going to be pretty difficult to show up with another year of 30-to-40 percent earnings growth. So, consequently, our message has been a lot more selective about the securities that we want investors to focus on.

We hustled well and went for every ball, but the holidays caused us to be a bit winded. We had too many turnovers in the second quarter (16) and we're going to have to fix that part of our game for league play.
