Apparently moving higher is there's still room to get in -- joining us now Jason pride director of investment strategy at planned meeting.

Jason thanks for joining us it feels like the markets right now what kind of reach that ceiling is having a hard time moving higher.

We -- -- across the line we come back down waiting for the next catalyst.

Where do you see the market going from here what kind of correction of all these other analysts who are predicting a correction not correct.

What do you think 58%.

Correction perhaps.

But you know there's always a possibility for correction particularly -- you had.

Had such a strong run at the end of the year here on a relief rally following us is basically not going over the fiscal -- But we have to kind of step back and and -- a little bit of caution.

Reality is we are still in a deleveraging environment.

Many of the plans have yet to be put in place we're definitely making progress the market should generally be moving higher.

But moving too fast.

Too far on -- near term basis cannot can cause some weakness in some pull back on and on that near term basis.

So yeah we've been very much a advocate -- kind of cautiously.

And dad you know good to have its go along with the bad habits -- -- smoking and one of them is that.

Once people make more money they tend to have a propensity to smoke a couple extra cigarettes -- -- obviously being a big beneficiary of.

Call us we'll look last week equity funds -- an inflow.

Of about seventy billion dollars and according to the latest numbers about 40% of that money.

Went into international and global funds -- think that's a good move.

We do think it's -- good -- international valuations weather in the developed markets.

Or in the emerging markets are relatively undervalued compared to the US.

You know.

And Europe in the emerging markets really there isn't too much of a good reason there are other -- That's kind of where they've historically been my -- both of those cases -- -- provides opportunities for improvement and -- to use for valuation expansion.
