Im not worried. I mean, listen, the markets had a great run. Last week, a great run since june 24th. Even if you went down 1 , 2 , 3 , i think its just a tiny little dip. Its barely a rounding error. And the markets, to me, are clearly headed higher in the short term. Doug, you buying into this weakness, as well . Yeah, i think we are buying into this weakness. We also are finding that the u. S. Has had a really great run, and, you know, the whole point of making your most money when reality and expectations are in disalignment, thats not the case right now in the u. S.
