Well last weekend the Dow the NASDAQ and the S and -- they all lost about 2% on the week you know even the NASDAQ now down five weeks consecutive.

A lot of the selling -- was dividend paying stocks investors are very nervous about.

Well I mean we're still -- and dividend income opinions about something that you have to look at what type of dividend the stocks you're you're buying -- -- -- look at utilities and telecoms.

Those companies on -- on the dividends very much -- look at as almost a bond type income play.

If you look at our growth -- companies that are still gonna grow their earnings and actually have the potential to.

To continue increased -- dividend payouts than those companies should do fine so I think it's.

It is what type of company's that are paid a dividend that you own and also.

Also pharmaceutical should benefit because there's going to be an increase in the people of -- people covered by insurance now ones that may not do so well I mean.

That -- medical device makers are gonna be hit with a 2%.

Tax which is gonna hurt their earnings directly.

So I mean there -- ways to play health care health -- you gonna grow.

A lot faster and economy given that you know the number of insured people gonna become an alternate that the healthcare -- I do wanna ask you don't know what that -- headed to ask about -- before I let you know they have this cancer that trial incredibly.

A successful stock is she didn't up higher today -- like -- right now.
