We did get a CPI number that was too high. Now, I understand these are all against expectations. Jeff and I felt that the economy is very strong, and we would have a hot number. So, we kind of are troubled by the people who got it wrong and are therefore selling. They are, quite frankly, ill advice because they're unaware. And Jeff, what I see when the people who are unaware are in control of both the mic and also the futures, what they do is they flail wildly, and I see a lot of wild flailing. Yeah, I mean, look, I think you just look at the day, though. Yeah, it was down more than 1% very early on, and it's still early, but look, I'm looking at Nvidia doing a little bit better today. A lot of the stocks that were down yesterday, big year-to-date winners, momentum stocks are actually holding in OK? Well, that's good. Nvidia a little- It's corrected ahead, and obviously, Nvidia is not hostage to the short rates. I mean, people should think about whether the companies are hostage to short rates or long rates, but the problem, Jeff, is that if you don't know what Nvidia is, how would you know whether it's hostage or not? No, of course. I mean, you could look at today what's down the most today. Utilities, real estate, bad-bouncy companies. So, those are going to be- Warner Brothers Discovery. Those are going to be hit the hardest when rates pop. You got the tenure at 4 and a half. Those are the companies that are going to struggle with higher rates, because they went stupidly at a lot of money. Right, but just because the 10-year goes from 4, 4, 4, 5, it doesn't mean Microsoft is slowing down their pace of data center build-out. You can have sell-offs. I mentioned earlier this morning that Caterpillar just is up 25%. You think Caterpillar has de-cyclicalized. That's the Jim Mumpleby term, but it's also up 25%. You can see people taking profits. It's also a long day. No, for sure. I mean, look, we had a 1% pullback last Thursday, right? Things were looking a little bit hairy, and then the jobs report came out, and we had a nice rally. So, I mean, look, I think the market is maybe it's struggling right now to find some footing. We do have earnings coming up. That's obviously going to be very important. The biggest driver of stocks, I would say, is earnings. Jamie Diamond's own record saying, look, it could be 2, it could be 8%. Well, I mean, if you're Jamie, you come out with the 8. Look, Jamie is a person who is, well, let's talk about him for a second. I think that's my age. I think that's like the risk manager in here. Right. You see me saying, I'm not going to blow this back up. We're not blowing this back up, and that turned out to be the greatest call. That's why he got first, he stole first republic. He's very calm. My friends who work with him are always amazed that he's just a thoughtful risk manager. Absolutely, and you have JP Morgan Friday, Wells Fargo, Friday. Yeah. Before that, STZ constantly embraced tomorrow. I like Wells. You know, let Wells sell off $3, and then you buy it. Charlie's got a great animal.
