And the credit markets are still quite calm. You know, the VIX, the volatility gauge, it's a function. Hopefully people have heard of the VIX. And when it spikes, it shows fear out there. It's what the options market thinks volatility will do. in 30 days in the future. So that's a mouthful, but just real simple. About three weeks ago, the VIX spiked above 60 on a Monday.

It was one of those Mondays a couple weeks ago when things were just a bloodbath. And that is extremely rare to see the VIX spike that high. It's consistent with you're in the ballpark of a load. I mean, you're at the load, but in a ballpark. The trigger is when you go from above 50, And then close beneath 25.

That just happened, oh, maybe a week or so ago, or maybe just this week, maybe last week. Last week, the stock market closed beneath 25. So the options markets calming down. We get the headlines. We get the uncertainty. We get the, I mean, manufacturing slowing down. Consumer confidence is lower now than it was in the middle of a 100-year pandemic. We understand all of these things.

But sometimes there are smarter functions out there that we follow. And like the credit markets and the VIX calming down are some that again to us suggest the worst is over and the lows are in. That doesn't mean we're going to go straight up. That doesn't mean it's going to be off to the races. It'll be very clear. But do we violate the April 8th lows? At this point, I mean, we're saying no.

There's been too many things that have taken place. We think we're well off those lows, by the way, that those lows are in. It might still be choppy. It might be frustrating. But that's how we're seeing the world here. And the two things, to answer your question, the two things no one's really talking about, I guess, would be credit markets hanging in there and the VIX has really come back.
