I think on an intraday basis, the NASDAQ was down 20%.
year to date in April, we're now up 20%.
So 40% move higher in a few months.

I think it was down over 10%.
Now it's up 14% on the year.
So we've had some pretty massive moves.

And we went to kind of extra large positioning.
And we've been there most of the year.

You know, we're back to kind of medium, medium, small positioning in the market.
