assess august evaluate fed gotten interest market natural playing point raise rather whether
It's the micro management, the machinations up and down of interest rates, that has really gotten us to the point where we are now, rather than the market playing out at its own natural cycle.

I mean we've had a consolidation but we haven't penetrated any long term support levels, and so, as I said, we're in a period of commonality where traditional market leadership may take hold and make some of us older guys look a little better than the-you know, high tech performers.
