Mostly in reaction to what is going on in Europe and word that our own bail out our economic bailout package which was just passed by congress and signed by the president last week. Will take months to infiltrate and the effective in the economy. I would imagine that. The European economies of -- in the same issue that you know does not there's no effervescent solution."

I have been announced a phone going to be enough and that can that be more anyway he says.

And how quickly dismissing it seems like this incident wistfully at best said."
