Well we've been ambushed on European companies for quite awhile I think most of our portfolios are overweight Europe.

There are some great companies there are so you can't you have to overlook what's happening from an economic perspective or from a political perspective.

Look past that the companies are still very strong.

But the European companies is similar to what happens with the United States companies and we kind of have to play up that currency valuation.

Chemicals and oil.

And what's happening now is energy or or chemicals are being produced in places where they're not consumed.

So you produces Saudi Arabia but you need to -- the -- and and you need to stored somewhere both of these global companies that mentions August and customers around the world announce my electric -- -- we're gonna have a little bit more regulator on the show he's going to be here for the out our.
