I think a market like this gets very dangerous in the sense that, you know, it it's not necessary, you're not necessarily seeing the pullback here due to some adjustment factor in terms of earnings. Um, it is again, that that long-term um unknown as far as when we kind of transition to this AI world. What I would tell investors, and I think what most people would agree with is you do have to be a lot more selective in this type of environment. You do have to look at names that say, hey, listen, um, you know, where where are where are stories that can continue to grow, um in a, you know, in an environment here three, four, five years down the road, um where we do have high conviction. A name like Alphabet is a great example of that. um, where maybe some of these SAS oriented names, you know, get get a little bit more difficult. So I do think there are some value traps in this market. I think they're also some uh great opportunities.
