A look at technology it's it's always been one of the top three.

Sectors that have always pulled us out of any -- of recessions or slowdowns in the end these companies at apple and Google and Yahoo! are continuing to change the way you and I receive information.

Well David I think we're starting to see that now I describe this economy is being a low flying recovery.

But it happens to be gaining altitude at this point and therefore making it less vulnerable to dangerous downdraft.
