I only hope we get to do more in the future

I said two years ago that the European fighters and the Africans would take control because I hate to say it their amateur system is better than our American system.

They're also developing sort of a gangster mentality, whereas before their mental makeup was a little more delicate.

There's nothing really wrong with techs. They are certainly somewhat highly valued by any historic measure, but probably not as highly valued as they were in February. We think, actually, come the fall, we could see a big tech rally, and that would probably be related to the fact that the IPO calendars are really building at the big underwriting firms, the big broker dealers.

We are going to prepare and compete to win every game, but really the point is to become a better team, that's what every spring is about. Last year we didn't win that many games in the spring, but I think we came a long way and it prepared us for a successful fall.

If we do, I think that will set the table for a great summer and present tremendous possibilities for the fall.
