0:07.0

Today feels to me like a little dicey day, and I'll tell you why.

0:13.0

We got these retail sales and PPI, they look cooler, and I sold bonds, immediately the interest rates go down,

0:19.0

and then there were questions about it, and we're still at that four and a half level of the tenure that interest rates go down. And then there were questions about it.
