I think the market ought to be satisfied with the idea that at least there's not going to be anymore tightening. You know, it's only a couple months ago that people were saying the Fed was going to tighten all through the fall.

I mean for the guys who kind of tuned me out before, now I had everybody listening and we talked about it, which, I think, is my responsibility as a coach.
