That frank thank you have a -- here we have so much news going on first let me get your take.

On the night debacle and its influence on the market today is partly to blame for the sell -- Well clearly Yahoo! and that has submitted with the sell -- but I also think consumer sentiment.

Yes just a pile on of bad news so where you advising your clients to invest their money.

-- -- throughout the year we've been telling -- the our our clients to take more of a defensive measure.

We have increase in taxes coming down the pike we have spending that's gonna cut back by the government's -- -- these two.

Areas that are gonna hit the GDP and potentially could take the whole fiscal cliff and say that was all implemented there's a potential -- three to three and a half percent.

Dragon the GDP which would be very disastrous for the economy I think once you get through the election in the compromises take place we're looking at probably -- 1%.

-- to the GDP which I think the markets won't Lohan off.

All right frank come back very seeing were little short on time due to the breaking news this hour thanks a lot appreciate it thank you.
