You -- is like that sector how to -- -- -- that we can actually now you've changed your your strategy you're saying the plane natural foods company.
It's good you're right I mean I -- -- so we talked a lot about -- specifically.
You know -- that the value proposition of land scarcity of population growth and now what -- health consciousness we watch any yesterday jumped 89%.
The maker of you know natural foods organic products and money was the sector and embodies the ticker and and we believe that that that that's a health trend and awareness and if there's scarcity value.
-- in the company and products like that so we looked at -- We look at Smart Balance we see similarities in terms of there on the side of I -- in terms of their healthy products they're organic and natural products.
In in terms of -- balance the -- the heart healthy -- they're producing and distributing.
And believe that there's a lot of enthusiasm for the sector and despite the run up that these guys have had that enthusiasm to take these things further.
I was an ask you that because those looking at stock performance over the last year Hain celestial -- as thirteen maker and some of their -- into that he's up 47% in the last six months and it was the same thing for Smart Balance again a huge jump.
For Smart -- 44% just over the last year -- so.
As the -- poverty.
