1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: I mentioned our guest is Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: Interactive Brokers. So Steve, we'll get to the FED in 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,040 Speaker 1: a moment. This has to be kind of frustrating for 4 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: the Bears, the overall action on a day like today. 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: The market did have every excuse to sell off with 6 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: the salesforce news and Nvidio never mind Powell, but he didn't. 7 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: I know, it's just today, but could it be more 8 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: than that? Um, good morning, Brian. Yeah, I never want 9 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: to rule out any alternatives that that. That's that's something 10 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: I that's a lesson I learned the hard way is 11 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: be prepared for anything, especially when you're talking about a 12 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: low volume, late summer environment. Um. You know, one of 13 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: the old sayings is don't short adult tape, and you know, 14 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: that's kind of what we had today. Volumes have been 15 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: very light and people are mostly on the sidelines, are 16 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: waiting a momentous piece of news. So if you if 17 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: people aren't selling, what's what's the logical move? Well, let's 18 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: try buying. And that's I think what we saw today. 19 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: Despite the various stories that you saw that you mentioned, 20 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, all right, Well, looking at this also, Steve 21 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: I mean, as the old adage goes go and may 22 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: come back on Labor Day. Labor days is a week 23 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: in a bit of way. So is that when we 24 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: get a return to property of volumes and the like. 25 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,559 Speaker 1: Because at the moment, of course, every move is kind of, 26 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: I suppose exaggerated given what's happening in terms of the 27 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: number of people participating. Oh yeah, rashot, Absolutely, I would 28 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: expect things to come back. You know, let's say Labor 29 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: Day is the fifth called the six or seven, We'll 30 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: start to see people back at their deaths and and 31 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: and trading away. You know, the markets now are much 32 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: more democratic, so it's not it's not the same way 33 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: they used to be in terms of you know, everybody 34 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: left and individuals didn't make up a big part um. 35 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: Individuals do take up do make a larger part. You know, electronics, 36 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: you know, algorithmic strategies that don't necessarily require as many people. 37 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: But yeah, you still don't. You still get those lighter volumes, 38 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: that lack of activity. But that and that that brings 39 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say volatility, because the market hasn't been 40 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: all that vulnable, but it brings the possibility of sharp 41 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: moves coming out of nowhere, which is one of which 42 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: we saw late this afternoon. And we should remember we 43 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: are still in a bear market, perhaps until we get 44 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: above the two day moving average. I think we've come 45 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: back about almost half of what we gave up from 46 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: last week. But I wanted to ask you about Bullard 47 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: because you know, we're journalists, so we look between the 48 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: lines on some of these things. He said inflation could 49 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: stay higher for longer, more than Wall Street or the 50 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: market thinks. Now, the notion is one thing, but do 51 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: people really want Fed presidents openly talking about what the 52 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: market should or should not be doing? Um? Yeah, well, 53 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: you know, let's break that apart, you know, to answer 54 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: the to answer the main thrust to your question, I 55 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 1: don't think the markets I want to be told by 56 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: the by the Fed governors what they should be thinking, 57 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: particularly when that's thinking, you know, sort of is it 58 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: odds with what they want to happen? I mean, I 59 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: think the market, you know, really wants the Fed to blink, 60 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: you know, and at the slightest and at the slightest, 61 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: you know, slightest opportunity that that could happen. We rally, 62 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: which is what we saw after the the f MC meeting. Um. 63 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: You know, so I don't think I don't think traders 64 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: like you know, being scolded or you know, we're talked 65 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: to in that manner, but obviously not too much because 66 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: you know, because we're just going to do what we're 67 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: gonna do. Anyway. Yeah, this is it. I mean, you know, 68 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: it's got to the point where and Mark is al 69 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: really nervous at the beginning this week or investors, I 70 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: should say, Um, And then as we've got closer to 71 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: this speech, it seems just that the going out what 72 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: it is, what it is, and we'll carry them the 73 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: way we are. So what do you think the most 74 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: dominant thing is after monetary policy for investors. Um. You know, 75 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: I think monetary policies in first place. It's also in 76 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: second place, in third place. Um. You Ultimately it does. 77 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: Ultimately it does involve earnings, and we are going to 78 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: come back to it. You know. One of the one 79 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: of the reasons why we did bounce. Um. You know, 80 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: let's say in the last month or two, it was 81 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say great earnings, were good enough earnings 82 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: And you know, ultimately, for equity investors, you have to 83 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: have earnings, things that market to participants are concerned about, 84 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: interest rates, interest rates and interest rates, Steve, it's got 85 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: to be a fourth purely. But let's just let's just 86 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: just take a look at what's how this year has 87 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: evolved from huge geopolitical affears of what's going on, which 88 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: have receded to somewhat somewhat remained sanguine for the US investor, 89 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: at least that we've seen quite a shift, haven't we. 90 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: Whereas Europe itself it's still got to deal with this 91 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: and it's dealing with things in the winter that perhaps 92 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: they were never really thinking about before. Yeah, I mean 93 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: that's you know, that's sort of a you know, a 94 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: unique feature of US investors is that we're quite good 95 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: at ignoring things and in the rest of the world 96 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: that are in convenient where we feel like it, and 97 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: I think we were really not appreciating, Um, you know, 98 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: the potential for a slowdown that can be driven out 99 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: of Europe and out of China. Um. You know, you've 100 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: got if you want to think of, you know, sort 101 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: of the three main pillars of the stool, it's it's 102 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: it's Europe, Asia and North America. Well, two out of 103 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: three are not looking all that good. Um, you know, 104 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: but I think we're sort of reveling in the idea 105 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: that we're you know, to coin the phrase that the 106 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: you know, the the cleanest dirty shirt and in the 107 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: hamper um. And that's kind of that's kind of the 108 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: problem we had, the well not a problem. That's kind 109 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: of the way we're going about it now is I 110 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: think we're we feel insulated from the world's problems, at 111 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: least for the time being. One of the points that 112 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: I highlighted in the data check at the top of 113 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: the hour was the outperformance of industrials and materials and 114 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: transports here um in the past little period of time. Uh. 115 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: And because it's tempting to think that, well, the Chinese 116 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: economy is slowing, Europe is you know, looking like recession 117 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: in the US is slowing. But if these industrial type 118 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: firms are doing well, does that suggest that maybe at 119 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: least some people are seeing underlying strength there. Um, that's 120 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: the conclusion we have to take. And I look, let's 121 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: at the Russell two thousand, where you have small caps 122 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: that you know that are often much you know, more 123 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: economically sensitive, being smaller firms are less insulated, you know, 124 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: the Russell two thousand actually you know, did manage to 125 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: sneak above its two D day moving average at one point. Um. 126 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, that's part of the bet that 127 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: the market is making is that somehow we're going to 128 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: be able to thread this needle, uh, you know, while 129 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: keeping inflation and check and avoiding any sort of major recession. 130 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: And you know, and let's say, sort of steer the 131 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: ship through a very narrow through a very narrow channel. Um. 132 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: If that's true, that's wonderful. My fear is that, you know, 133 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: it's sort of the equivalent of a parlay or an 134 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: accumulator back where you know, a lot of things have 135 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: to go right and there's a huge payoff if they do, 136 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 1: but you know, one little aspect of it can can 137 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: trip you up and and and ruin your ruin your 138 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: chances are getting paid off. Now, Steve, I'm rather intrigued 139 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: by what you've been talking about in the notes that 140 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: you said to us, and it says if you can't 141 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: if you can't spot the sucker, well it's all about 142 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: you telling you is maybe not telling us who the 143 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: sucker is here, but tell us about the cool options 144 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: and social media and meme stocks and that what you've 145 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: been gleaning from all that. Yeah, well, you know, thank 146 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: thanks for bringing that up. The the problem here was, 147 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: you know, the bed bath and beyond saga was was 148 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: I think you know one that they're going to be 149 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: doing case studies about for years. Um. And essentially you 150 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: had you know, one insider by Tempered basically tener cent 151 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: of the company around March that got the stock moving 152 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: up from about fifteen to thirty. But he was long 153 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: at about third fifteen and change watch to go to five. 154 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: Normal people, if you have if you buy a big 155 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: slug of stock at fifteen and watch your go to five, 156 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: well what do you do? You kick it out or 157 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: you've got to help the fundamentals work out. But if 158 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: you're if you have a huge social media following, you 159 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: could sort of rekindle enthusiasm, get the call options moving, 160 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: buy stocks and not by in this case, you bought 161 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: options in a sort of way designed to draw attention 162 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: to yourself, which is not what most insiders do, and 163 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: that creates a self fulfilling frenzy in the midst of it. Um. 164 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: You know the RC Ventures was the company here. Once 165 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,599 Speaker 1: the stock got moving, um, they kind of did a 166 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: masterful thing. When they buy, they tend to use Schedule 167 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: thirteen D, which which is reported almost instantaneously when they sold, 168 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: they used four. So on August fourteenth he announced his 169 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: intention to sell his shares. The world didn't see it 170 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: until August seventeen. Meanwhile, starting August sixteen, probably when the 171 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: ink was dry, he started selling on the sixteenth and 172 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: he was out from eight sold from eighteen up to 173 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: twenty nine basically, And so who was the sucker? There 174 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: was all the people buying on the social media frenzy 175 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: now and and oh and then by the way, they 176 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: hired a restructuring attorney after the after all the shares 177 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: were sold. That kind of you know, that's the problem. 178 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: And you're saying as well that you know, it's like 179 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: they're not people are not learning from this because Game Stop, 180 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 1: which Ryan Cohen also has a big portion of stock in, uh, 181 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 1: basically hasn't hasn't tanked. No, that's the thing is you 182 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: know what the problem I have here is he's you know, 183 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: he's already shown that you know, you that the individual 184 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: investor is a source of liquidity for him. Now people 185 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: but people, you know, they're lured by the prospect of 186 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: being profitable, of making money, and so that's enticing, and 187 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: so it's you know, agreed over fear. But at some 188 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: point you have to realize that, you know, there's someone 189 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: else pulling the strings. And while you can do wonderfully 190 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: if if you're early and right the most part, if 191 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: you're buying it once the enthusiasm is started, you've got 192 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: to be careful that you know that that this is 193 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: probably not organic anymore. There's you know, there's certain people 194 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: with a vested interest in getting these stocks moving. And 195 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: if you don't think you're one of those people who's 196 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: controlling the vested interest, well then you're the source of liquidity. 197 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: Hence why I said, you know, if you don't know 198 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: who the sucker is at the poker table, well exactly, 199 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 1: and you know it's if you're the last to know, 200 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: it's probably you. Anyway. Now, the thing is, Steve, you 201 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: did say something rather interesting. It just sort of almost 202 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: brings up a lacuna in regulations. You know, if you 203 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: buy a stock and you have to immediately report it 204 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: in one way, surely you should have the same principle 205 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 1: apply to when you sell it. Yeah, I mean, well 206 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: I will say that he did it promptly. It was 207 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: really the next day. But what we saw when he 208 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 1: bought a big slog of Game Stop earlier this year, 209 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: he reported that day, there's a little leeway in the rules. 210 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: You what, I'm not accusing him of any ill reality. 211 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: Let me let me be very clear about that he 212 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: did it within the rules. But um, you know, in 213 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: one of my notes, in one of my comments, I 214 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: said it was a master class and how to you know, 215 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: play securities filings because you know, the when it was 216 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: helpful to get a moving he used. I'm not gonna 217 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: say one set of rules that's not fair, but one 218 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,959 Speaker 1: set of behaviors. And when he was selling he did 219 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: his best to office skate. Granted, if I was trying 220 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: to move ten percent of a company, um, I would 221 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: be as quiet as I could pee about it. Um, 222 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: But the fact that he's loud on the way in 223 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: and quiet on the way out the I let me 224 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: just say that if I were the sec I'd be 225 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: taking a look and seeing where where there might be 226 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: holes in the in the regulatory framework that can be um, 227 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: you know, coked over. Let's call it okay, Steve, We've 228 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 1: got to go. Thanks, very much, nice long session with you.
