The markets have been relatively positive. We had a big run in the semiconductors and people are willing to bet things will be just fine as long as (the Fed) continues to lower interest rates.

Physically it was very draining and hard, and not to have a positive result was quite distressing for some of our team.

A modest pullback in warranted.

The game wasn't as close as the score indicated. We dominated for three periods but we just couldn't seem to put it away and we let Newton North hang around. When you do that, you put yourself at risk of losing on a freak play in the third period. Luckily, we were able to pull it out.

You might see some relief (on Wall Street) after the G7 meeting.

Even though the Fed has tightened, it's not done a whole lot in the way of weakening the housing market.
