And of course was still worried though I think is key issues are. Retail sales a little bit on inflation and and also -- earnings stories continues to. But to the retail side that we got the -- this morning ready dirty and they orbit they were actually down 1% 2% for July so it's certainly not at all direct consumer out there as we saw also get beat up pretty hard. It is isn't this a little bit better than anticipated but still not robust consumer. We look at the inflation concerns community import prices which -- up one point 7%. And that's a record high and that's so high that these indexes rose president a year 42% particularly you know this is a tough time but good news is is maybe we're starting to see some of these oil and commodity prices conservatively but not a big number they're so.

And home building arena we saw behind builder Toll Brothers not good news to report their revenue down 34%. Back walks down to 52%. Signed contract -- 35% so we were expecting much stick together but. It was interesting that we so the CEO Robert -- was talking about. Growing at commendable people who were putting off building dominance against I guess that's grasping at something. A maker of video they -- bit of a disappointment we have about a 140 million dollar loss to report. Do some production problems that came up with the good -- what they're going to simply going to buy their own stock back at. He's big retail or -- they -- a quarter profits drop a little bit. That some of these nonrecurring items it's hard to look at what we're seeing used. Where a lot of these companies in America but to other retailers are doing what we call you pot they're under promising and walked over deliver -- that we're seeing this morning also plant materials. A bit of amid this morning Internet chipmaker equipment companies and also -- business to."

Play from 2:36[2:36]" I just spoke -- on twenty seconds here I think correctly."

Play from 2:39[2:39]" They look at the -- Caremark looks like they're going west they're buying longer to collect two point 9000000032%. Premium there.
