We want to begin with bob who covers twitter. Bob, you with me . Its good to have you as always. You follow this as closely as anybody does. What do you make of the speculation around this company . The stock has had a pretty good run from 14 to 19 and change. Is a take out becoming more likely. We dont think theres any take out possibilities in 2016. I think they want to see those things they want to do resonate. Jack has only been there for a year almost and the board is new. I think they fully support jack.
