The points here -- and he's a regular meetings that they have.
Is that the that -- that they could make investment decisions based on a what they hear from the Fed are that they put undue pressure on the Fed have undue influence you think that's a problem.
Well it is hard to say what's going on behind closed doors but I think it's important for the Fed actually listen to these guys because they are the troops on the ground they know what's going on.
And they need to heed this warning so I think I mentioned that the discussion.
Took on a very serious tone and and concern for all of the contagion problem we have in the US of it was a would've done it.
I'm certainly Occupy Wall Street guys are just gonna take this -- -- -- -- -- terrible crony capitalism -- meeting behind closed doors you know what I think investors ought to be really.
Happy and encouraged that the Fed listens to big guys on Wall Street and listens to what they're saying about what's going on markets the tightening of credit all I kind of think.
They should be in touch and they should have those meetings and it's a good thing that I think -- Right but not yet but you've you've picked it up exactly that Dennis the Occupy Wall Street crowd if you will -- 9%.
They're gonna tell you that they shouldn't be having this discussion has -- I don't know what they're talking about they know nothing.
Thing about markets for capital and more -- biggest that they hate them all they're rallying cry -- what do we -- we don't know what we want.
That's the problem that couldn't Robin you're sitting there with the federal which is -- it and if you run an advisory.
Well I I you know I would love -- -- the privileged information they have but I think he made the right choice here on to increase liquidity.
I -- and I think it's with very little risk if any at all time lows -- it's a great story we appreciate you you're joining us for the -- aren't with.
