This is a person who was going to throw away the manager playbook, who actually had an intuitive understanding of the things that were broken and what to do about them, was going to make contrarian calls and actually cares about the outcome.

I'm not. I think there will be some volatility. I've been looking at the markets, kind of thinking about how much of this is the market reacting to the playbook. It's like prophylaxis.
