A you're saying -- moving to these names -- because we're also concerning Caterpillar again Dow component one of the biggest names to get hit right bottom month ago.

Bernanke at Jackson Hole He didn't deliver everybody is hoping for hints on -- The rating of the president says to me today is and that what the Fed has -- -- yesterday's and is it can't be a fed move today I think.
I think it was mainly the the good the good earnings from Joy Global early on and and also Europe you know was was -- a little bit as well.
