And then also if you look at the of either the Dow or the NASDAQ 100 you see not a lot of red one stock very slightly in the red and the Dow and that's United Health Care. And so what are the implications of that for the markets, Larry and at what point like, you know, we had obviously a dip.Well, it's a great question because we've been using our target of 5400 as our guiding light.
And I think that that is likely to be the case because from all of the signals that we see you are seeing prices broadly speaking, continuing to decelerate.So obviously Nvidia's report will be very important to see the sustainability of that theme.
