You look at the major averages here, all of them finishing in the green.

Although I guess we’ll wait for things to settle out.

The Dow.

It’s really kind of a photo finish there up just four points on the day.

The S and P 500 up 7/10 of 1%.

The NASDAQ, the winner here and the winner of the week for that matter up, uh 1.1% helped in part by those results from NVIDIA and the momentum that we’ve seen in technology and, uh, Jared, it has been an interesting week, right?

So is real estate a very similar amount.

And then tech and communication services the only spot at green there.

So it explains there that you’ve got those two groups that are the most heavily weighted in the NASDAQ that are doing the best.

Yes.
