I don't know how strong the case is for impeachment, so I don't know what will happen with that. We react first and think later.

The poor number indicates that we are suffering alongside the rest of the global economy and that it is having an impact on the U.S., the U.S. has been the best house in a lousy neighborhood and maybe that is changing.

We're in a window right now from about 2,000 to 2,050 (for the S&P), and that is fairly important for the market. If we can hold above 2,000 that would be good. We're in a better part of the year from a seasonal perspective.
