The “Rolling Recession” Has a New Target in 2024

Dave:Hey everybody. Welcome to On the Market. I’m your host, Dave Meyer, and we’re going to be ending the yr with a fully unimaginable and really particular present. At present now we have one in all my private heroes and position fashions approaching the present. Her identify is Liz Ann Sonders. She is the chief funding strategist at Charles Schwab and is likely one of the finest analysts and economists in your complete world. And I promise you, you all are going to be taught a ton from our very attention-grabbing dialog. Liz Ann and her workforce at Charles Schwab not too long ago launched a report known as US Outlook: One Factor Results in One other, it simply got here out within the final couple of weeks and presents data and their fundamental define for what they assume goes to occur within the financial system subsequent yr. And through our dialog at present, we’re going to discuss concerning the report. We get in all kinds of subjects just like the idea of a recession or a smooth touchdown and the place Liz Ann thinks we fall on that spectrum.We additionally speak about mortgage charges and bond yields, shopper spending and sentiment. And naturally we’re going to discuss concerning the Fed and what they’ve been as much as. However I believe along with simply Liz Ann’s opinions about this stuff, there’s so much to be taught on this episode as a result of Liz Ann does an important job explaining what information it’s best to take note of and why, and which information is simply type of noise that isn’t as vital for traders like us after we’re making our selections about our portfolio.So, when you’re listening to this, along with what she says, additionally take note of the issues she’s speaking about, why she seems to be at sure indicators, why she ignores different indicators, as a result of it will possibly actually make it easier to kind by all of the noise on the market and simply concentrate on the issues which might be going that will help you construct your portfolio in 2024. With that, let’s carry on Liz Ann Sonders, the Chief Funding Strategist at Charles Schwab.Liz Ann Sonders, welcome again to On the Market. Thanks a lot for being right here.

Liz Ann:Oh, thanks for having me. Completely happy holidays.

Dave:Thanks, you too. For these of our viewers who didn’t catch your first look on this present, are you able to please simply briefly introduce your self and what you do at Charles Schwab?

Liz Ann:Certain. So Liz Ann Sonders. I’m the Chief Funding Strategist at Schwab, a job I’ve had, I’ve been at Schwab since 2000, so very long time. And earlier than that I used to be at a agency known as Zweig Avatar.

Dave:Throughout our final episode, we ended on one thing that I’d love to only decide up on, which was your idea of a rolling recession. Are you able to inform us somewhat bit about what a rolling recession is in your thoughts?

Liz Ann:Certain. So there’s no exact definition. It’s only a time period that we’ve chosen to make use of to explain what is clearly a really distinctive cycle. And I’m not going to return three and a half years and run by the litany of issues that makes it distinctive. However I believe it is very important return to the stimulus period in the course of the early a part of the pandemic as a result of on the time that stimulus kicked in, each on the financial facet and the fiscal facet, and it boosted the, financial system dramatically in a short time and took the financial system out of what was, though painful, a really short-lived pandemic recession. That stimulus and the demand related to it was all funneled into the products facet of the financial system, as a result of providers weren’t accessible. And that’s additionally the place the inflation drawback started on the products facet of varied inflation metrics. However since then, we’ve not solely seen hyperinflation go to disinflation to deflation in lots of classes on the products facet, we even have had recessions in a rolling sense in manufacturing, housing, housing-related, a variety of consumer-oriented merchandise and items that had been massive beneficiaries of the stay-at-home section.And we’ve had more moderen offsetting power on the providers facet. That’s additionally the place you noticed the more moderen pickup and inflation on the providers facet. Inherently these metrics are somewhat bit stickier. So after we take into consideration the recession versus smooth touchdown debate, I believe that’s somewhat too simplistic as a result of we’ve already had arduous landings in a few of these areas. To me, best-case situation is a continued roll-through. Whereby if and when providers must take a breather that you just’ve bought offsetting stability and/or possibly even restoration in areas which might be already had their arduous touchdown. In order that’s in essence what we’re speaking about.

Dave:Simply to verify I perceive and to elucidate to everybody, historically a recession, at the least because it’s outlined by the Nationwide Bureau of Financial Analysis, states that there must be important declines in financial exercise by a broad portion of the financial system. And as Liz Ann is explaining right here, what’s happening now’s extra like a whack-a-mole state of affairs if you’ll, the place one part of the financial system may begin to see a decline as Liz Ann mentioned that was largely within the items space, after which providers, a unique sector of the financial system could be robust and may sooner or later begin to decline. In order that’s why it’s rolling by the financial system one business at a time. And Liz Ann, you talked about that some industries have had arduous landings. Are there any that come to thoughts which were notably painful?

Liz Ann:Effectively, housing, relying on what metric you’re taking a look at, you didn’t see epic-level declines in costs, at the least not in present houses. And I believe that simply has to do with the supply-demand imbalance, the truth that despite the fact that mortgage charges accelerated fairly dramatically during the last yr or so for the present dwelling market, so many owners are locked in at a lot decrease mortgage charges and due to this fact they’re locked into their houses. However we did see fairly epic declines akin to the bursting of the housing bubble kind declines in gross sales. Now we began to see a little bit of restoration there, however that’s one space that noticed compression. You actually noticed it in manufacturing broadly in sure parts of producing. And by the way in which, the weak point in manufacturing with out the attendant weak point, we’ve had somewhat little bit of weak point in providers, however nowhere close to the intense helps to elucidate why an index just like the LEI, the Main Financial Index, which has 10 subcomponents has been flashing recession.Now that index is extra manufacturing-biased, not as a result of the convention board that created the index is lacking one thing. They know that providers is a bigger portion of the US financial system, however manufacturing does have a tendency to steer, and that’s why there’s extra of a producing bias within the main indicators. However that helps to elucidate a disconnect too, provided that we’ve seen recession in manufacturing, it’s picked up in one thing just like the LEI, however it hasn’t manifested itself on this massive decline within the financial system due to the resilience in providers, which is a bigger, by the way in which, providers can be a bigger employer, serving to to elucidate why the labor market has been so resilient.

Dave:I’d love to speak somewhat bit extra in a minute concerning the providers and what may occur in 2024, however I’m simply curious your opinion on the implications of this rolling recession, as a result of in my thoughts, components of it gave the impression to be optimistic, proper? Slightly than having this one deep recession, totally different sectors of the financial system are acting at totally different ranges, however it additionally feels prefer it’s type of dragged out the financial ache and individuals are nonetheless type of ready for some definitive occasion to occur to declare a recession or to declare that the financial system’s higher and it seems like we’re type of on this financial purgatory proper now. Do you assume that is having a psychological impact on companies and American shoppers?

Liz Ann:I do. The truth is, I believe that that’s an vital query as a result of it brings up one other distinctive aspect to this cycle, and that’s that the psychological methods we measure development within the financial system, whether or not it’s issues like shopper confidence or shopper sentiment, they’re very related month-to-month readings, they’re put out by two totally different organizations. Shopper confidence tends to be somewhat bit extra biased to what’s happening within the labor market the place shopper sentiment tends to be somewhat bit extra biased to what’s happening with inflation. So you possibly can see divergences there. It’s also possible to take a look at different surveys like CEO Confidence, properly, that’s thought-about smooth financial information, survey-based information. What are individuals saying? What’s their temper? What’s been attention-grabbing is the arduous information doesn’t corroborate the a lot weaker smooth information. In different phrases, you’ve had this very dour backdrop of shopper confidence/sentiment, however you haven’t seen the equal in shopper spending.You’ve seen this very dour recessionary-like backdrop in CEO confidence, however as a proxy possibly for what would make them assured or not could be company earnings. And though company earnings had been barely destructive within the final yr or so, nowhere close to to the diploma that you’d count on given the weak point in CEO confidence. In order that’s one other distinctive side to this cycle is a reasonably large hole between the type of attitudinal or smooth financial information and the precise arduous activity-based information. In order that’s excellent news within the sense that sure, we’re seeing it psychologically, however it’s not manifesting itself in conduct that’s commensurate with the weak point in confidence.

Dave:That makes a variety of sense, and I simply expertise that nearly every single day. If you discuss to somebody concerning the financial system, nearly all the time you hear negativity or pessimism or worry, however once you take a look at these macro indicators, you see fairly robust studies popping out of a number of totally different sectors of the financial system. So it does simply really feel like there’s this type of unusual disconnect and that’s why I actually recognize your evaluation and terming of the rolling recession as a result of it does clarify, at the least in my thoughts, a variety of what’s driving that psychological component.

Liz Ann:And by the way in which, I agree it’s arguably a greater backdrop than a recession the place the underside falls out , notably in an excessive means like was the case in 2008. I imply that was a protracted recession, however actually that acute ’08 half was the underside falls out , and I believe most likely anyone would select extra of a roll by than that. However you’re proper, it does go away I believe lots of people on this state of limbo and uncertainty for possibly a extra prolonged time frame.

Dave:You talked about that one of the best case situation in your thoughts heading ahead is a continued roll by. So presumably some sectors get well, others go into an financial decline, and also you talked about providers as being probably one of many areas which may get hit. Why do you assume providers are one of many massive issues to look at in 2024?

Liz Ann:Significantly in areas the place the power has been a bit more moderen, the place the job development has been more moderen, reflecting the revenge spending on issues like journey and leisure and hospitality. I believe that the important thing ingredient to maintaining that afloat, and now we have began to see some cracks, ISM providers index, which is a proxy for the broader providers class, that has weakened from current peaks. You’re seeing it in a smattering of the way the place we could also be not on the exhaustion level, however sooner or later you’ve met that pent-up demand. However I believe the true secret is the labor market. I believe if the labor market can stay resilient, I believe that’s been a factor that customers are hanging onto to take care of that consumption, which once more, in more moderen intervals has been extra type of services-oriented or experiences-oriented versus issues, stuff, items.I believe if we begin to see extra cracks within the labor market, provided that metrics just like the financial savings fee, the diminution of the so-called extra financial savings, the truth that delinquencies for auto loans, for bank card loans are actually selecting up notably down the revenue spectrum into the subprime classes, the elevated use of bank cards for these which might be turned off by the excessive charges or excessive rates of interest, the elevated use of purchase now pay later, these are indicators that there’s at the least some pocket of the buyer that’s beginning to get somewhat bit tapped out. However I believe there’s been this reliance on the well being of the labor market as a buffer, and I believe if we had been to begin to see extra than simply the cracks now we have seen, I believe that that may have a feeder on the providers consumption facet which may happen a bit extra rapidly.

Dave:So in your outlook for 2024, are you forecasting breaking the labor market or at the least an uptick within the unemployment fee?

Liz Ann:So we had gotten clearly an uptick within the unemployment fee from 3.4 on the low to 4%, after which that got here again down to three.7%. What’s attention-grabbing concerning the unemployment fee is you don’t traditionally see a variety of bounce round volatility. It tends to be trending in a single route after which there’s the inflection after which it tends to development within the different route. It’s not like a metric preliminary unemployment claims the place you possibly can see an unimaginable quantity of volatility. So it was a little bit of a shock. I believe basically, the unemployment fee might be going to be trending increased. That’s simply the character of being later in an financial cycle. However there may be additionally reality to this notion of labor hoarding and the truth that for lots of firms, the talents hole, the labor shortages had been so acute that I believe they’re extra hesitant to make use of that, shedding individuals as a cost-cutting mechanism.So there may be that type of hanging on of labor. You’ve seen it picked up in different metrics like hours labored having come down. You’re additionally seeing cracks below the floor. As an illustration, with preliminary unemployment claims, which proceed to be very low, that’s a weekly studying, however there’s attendant report or a metric that comes out each Thursday morning with preliminary claims, which is constant claims measures, not individuals who have simply initially filed for unemployment insurance coverage within the prior week, however individuals who proceed to be on unemployment insurance coverage. And the truth that that has accelerated to a way more important diploma than preliminary unemployment claims tells you that it’s taking a bit longer for individuals to seek out jobs. So it actually simply is peeling a layer or two of the onion again to see the place we’re beginning to see some cracks. I don’t anticipate some main transfer up within the unemployment fee.I believe that there’s resilience within the labor market. There may be reality to that notion of labor hoarding, however it’s what occurs once you’re later within the cycle. And by the way in which, one mistake that a variety of financial watchers or market watchers, traders, no matter time period you need to use make is that they consider the unemployment fee nearly as a number one indicator and it manifests itself in questions I get on a regular basis. Why is anybody speaking a few recession when the unemployment fee is so low? Wouldn’t that, I’m paraphrasing totally different types of the query, wouldn’t that need to go up so much to carry on a recession? Effectively, it’s really the other that occurs. Recessions occur for many causes, and finally the recession causes the unemployment fee to go up. It’s not the opposite means round. In order that’s why it’s vital to take a look at issues like unemployment claims and much more main than that, layoff bulletins and job openings as a result of these are the place you decide up in a number one means indicators that finally will work their means right into a rising unemployment fee.

Dave:That’s a wonderful evaluation and detailed opinion concerning the labor market and underscore one thing we speak about on the present that I need to remind everybody that there are many methods to take a look at the labor market. Nobody is ideal and as Liz and clearly said, you type of have to take a look at the entire image by understanding the unemployment fee, how many individuals are submitting for claims, what number of hours are work, the labor participation fee. There’s so much to grasp. So if you wish to use any such information and knowledge in your personal investing, it’s best to, however make certain to get a holistic image and never simply cherry-pick one type of metric and use that as your barometer for the labor market. Liz Ann, you talked about that we’re late on this cycle and your report discusses this at size and talks about how fee hikes have a quote lengthy and variable lag related to them. Are you able to clarify this idea to our viewers?

Liz Ann:The terminology of lengthy and variable lags dates again to the late nice Milton Friedman who wrote about that in one in all his books. And it’s actually simply this concept that modifications in financial coverage. In different phrases, the Fed elevating rates of interest or decreasing rates of interest, the affect that that has on the financial system from a time perspective could be very variable. We all know the lags are lengthy, which means the Fed raises charges, it doesn’t have a direct and within the second affect on the financial system. It takes a short time, however the time it takes and the magnitude of that affect could be very variable over time. And that’s actually what we simply needed to level out. It’s additionally justification, and the Fed has said as such for the Fed being what we imagine to be in pause mode proper now, we do assume that the July 2023 fee hike was the ultimate one within the cycle as a result of they really feel that they’ve finished sufficient tightening.It was essentially the most aggressive tightening cycle in additional than 40 years. And that is the time now to evaluate the affect given these lengthy and variable lags. And the opposite level we made within the report taking a look at issues just like the decline within the main indicators, which we touched on, the inversion of the yield curve, any variety of measurements that previously have been fairly good recession indicators that had been nonetheless throughout the vary of time spans traditionally which have included once you lastly see the affect. In order that was why one in all our conclusions was we’re probably not previous the expiration date, possibly not a recession per se, however we’re not previous the expiration date of constant to fret about this. There’s not some level the place we will say each metric that has been calling for a recession, we’re well beyond the historic vary of affect, due to this fact nothing to see right here, nothing to fret about. Let’s rejoice. So we’re nonetheless throughout the variable vary related to the previous, even together with the distinctive traits of this cycle.

Dave:That’s tremendous vital and your report does an important job stating that each one of those indicators that market watchers level to that there ought to be a recession or is prone to be a recession. Even traditionally there’s a lengthy lag. A few of them take 24 months or 18 months, which means that despite the fact that the Fed is in pause mode, the financial system could be very presumably nonetheless feeling the affect of fee hikes that occurred, not simply the latest one, however ones that occurred 12 months in the past or even perhaps 18 months in the past.I’m curious if the current Fed information, and as a reminder we’re recording this in the direction of the tip of December, we simply heard from the Fed that they’re persevering with to pause and the latest dot plot, which is a projection of the place the Fed thinks that their federal funds fee shall be in coming years, reveals a possible for 3 fee cuts subsequent yr. Do you assume that Fed’s signaling that they may carry down charges may blunt type of this lag impact? There’s all the time this lag impact and a part of me all the time thinks about how that’s psychological, that if charges keep excessive, individuals are rather less prepared to take a position cash, they’re somewhat extra timid, and now, maybe the Fed is making an attempt to blunt the affect of a few of their more moderen fee hikes and get individuals to begin spending and feeling a bit extra assured once more.

Liz Ann:Which may be not directly part of it. To be completely sincere, we had been somewhat stunned on the telegraphing of a pivot. It’s been usually deemed to have been a extra dovish assembly, notably as soon as the press convention began and Jerome Powell was taking questions. Now, that mentioned, there may be nonetheless a reasonably large hole between, to your level, what the dots plot, what is recommended by the expectations of Fed members for 3 fee cuts in 2024 versus now. The market’s expectation of six fee cuts in 2024. I believe at this level, all else equal, given what we all know now, and the rub is that the Fed is data-dependent, so the info will outline after they begin to minimize and the way aggressively, however given what we all know now, to me it seems to be just like the Fed might be extra proper than the market. However by way of blunting the affect, yeah, I imply the Fed checked out what in November was essentially the most quantity of economic circumstances easing in a single month within the historical past of those a number of indexes that measure monetary circumstances.And that was one of many the explanation why there was an assumption that Powell on the assembly would a bit extra hawkish and say, “Look, the loosening of economic circumstances has finished a few of the job for us. We are able to keep in pause mode possibly longer.” However he did type of do this extra dovish type of pivot to an expectation of fee cuts. However there may be nonetheless a reasonably yawning hole between what the Fed is telegraphing and through its dots. It’s not telegraphing something, it’s information dependent. So that they’re not on some predetermined path, however I believe six appears pretty aggressive provided that inflation isn’t anyplace close to the fed’s goal, and so they declare that that’s what they need to see. So I wouldn’t be stunned if as we get into the start of 2024 if we don’t see continued important disinflation and/or if the financial system continues to behave fairly properly and we don’t see any additional cracks within the labor market or possibly even strengthening within the labor market. It wouldn’t shock me for the Fed to need to push again once more in opposition to fee cuts beginning as quickly as three months into the following yr.

Dave:For what it’s price, I used to be additionally very stunned. It’s not like we noticed these wonderful inflation numbers and as you mentioned, monetary circumstances had been already loosening. So it’s a little bit of shock and I simply need to remind everybody who’s largely actual property traders right here that though for these of us who’re trying ahead to decrease mortgage charges, this can be encouraging, however actually not assured. We’ve seen mortgage charges transfer down about 100 foundation factors within the final couple of weeks, however as Liz Ann simply identified, we don’t know what the Fed goes to do. They’re going to attend and see extra financial information. And we additionally don’t know the way the bond market and mortgage-backed safety markets are going to react to additional financial information.

Liz Ann:And that’s a key level as a result of it’s the 10-year yield that’s most immediately correlated to mortgage charges, not the Fed Funds fee, which is what the Fed has direct management over. In order that’s why it’s the market forces related to the bond market and long term yields that can affect mortgage charges.

Dave:Effectively, that brings me to my remaining topic right here that I need to speak about, which is the yield curve. As a result of bond yields are so pivotal in setting mortgage charges, as an actual property investor, I’m very curious to your tackle the yield curve, however for individuals who aren’t acquainted, are you able to simply clarify what the yield curve is?

Liz Ann:There’s totally different yield spreads which might be measured to then declare an inversion, which might basically simply be when short-term rates of interest are increased than long-term rates of interest. It’s most likely the 2 hottest yield spreads which might be analyzed when searching for an inversion, how deep the inversion is could be the 10-year versus the three-month treasury or the 10-year versus the two-year. And it displays an surroundings the place early and even upfront of a tightening cycle, you’ve bought nonetheless elevated short-term rates of interest, however the bond market is beginning to anticipate weaker financial development and an eventual easing cycle by the Fed. So these long term yields will come down and as soon as they go under the shorter time period yields, that’s when the yield curve inverts, which occurred now greater than a yr in the past. And it was a really deep inversion. What’s attention-grabbing is not too long ago when the yield curve began to steepen once more, I heard a variety of feedback saying, “Effectively, an inversion of the yield curve has been a reasonably good historic precursor to a recession, and now that it’s un-inverting, which that was pretty short-lived, we don’t have to fret about recession anymore.”However what’s attention-grabbing is that if you happen to take a look at the lengthy historical past of this, the inversion, if you wish to use a climate analogy, inversions are the warning, and steepenings are literally the watch, as a result of recessions have really sometimes began after a steepening. And in lots of circumstances the place the yield curve is definitely un-inverted, and that’s as a result of the lengthy finish begins to come back down in anticipation of Fed easing to come back. And in order that’s one other, I believe misperception very similar to the connection between the unemployment fee and recessions, inversions and recessions, it’s really the steepening that’s the watch, it’s the inversion that’s the warning. But it surely additionally displays issues within the monetary system given that the majority monetary establishments, they borrow on the brief finish and so they lend out on the lengthy finish and so they make that unfold. And that’s what then gives juice to the financial system. It provides them the flexibility to lend and hold the credit score markets open, and an inversion actually stunts that. And so it really works its means by the monetary system and thru lending requirements. And that’s in the end the way it impacts the financial system.

Dave:Given the significance of the steepening, what is occurring with the yield curve of late? You talked about that it inverted I believe over a yr in the past, however has there been any current motion of notice?

Liz Ann:Effectively, yeah. So the 10-year as an ideal instance, went from a 5% the place it hit for a reasonably brief time frame all the way in which right down to after I seemed earlier than approaching right here, it was sub-3.9. In order that’s a rare swing within the 10-year yield. And by the way in which, has had direct implications for the fairness market, which was one of many themes in our report that actually the bond market has been within the driver’s seat of the fairness market. And the interval from mid-July or so till the tip of October when the 10-year yield was surging on the upside, in the end hitting that 5% peak, that was the interval when the US fairness market had its correction. S&P down 10%, NASDAQ down 12 or 13%.After which since then, the height within the 10-year yield at 5% all the way in which again right down to under 4% has been very a lot what’s behind the unimaginable transfer off the lows on the finish of October for the fairness market. So there was a really, very direct relationship between what’s happening within the bond market with an inverse relationship between yields and inventory costs, increased yields met decrease inventory costs and vice versa extra not too long ago.

Dave:Thanks for explaining that. That’s tremendous useful for all of us who’re so and watch the bond markets fairly fastidiously. Liz Ann, earlier than we get out of right here, I’d simply love to listen to from you what you’ll advocate to our viewers, if there’s a few indicators that you just assume they need to be watching heading into 2024 to grasp the well being of the US financial system.

Liz Ann:Effectively, one factor that’s all the time vital to grasp is which financial indicators, and we’re barraged with them on a every day, weekly, month-to-month foundation, however what bucket they fall into, are they a number one indicator? Are they a coincident indicator? Are they a lagging indicator? And that applies to not simply labor market information. I discussed preliminary unemployment claims, a key main indicator, payrolls, a coincident indicator. The unemployment fee, not solely a lagging indicator, some of the lagging of indicators. In order that’s actually vital is knowing which fall through which buckets. Understanding that at occasions there is usually a massive distinction between the smooth and the arduous financial information, which we touched on. So survey-based information versus precise arduous activity-based information, type of such as you’ve bought to take a look at what they’re doing, not simply what they’re saying, whether or not it’s shoppers or CEOs. However I believe at this level, I occur to imagine that what the Fed will key off of when it comes time to begin to minimize charges, really pivoting to fee cuts, not simply staying in pause mode, would be the mixture of their twin mandate, inflation and the labor market.So on the tightening a part of the cycle, they had been nearly solely targeted on their inflation mandate. That was what was triggering the speed hikes on this very aggressive cycle. I don’t assume, they don’t not care about inflation anymore, however I believe the labor market, the employment half of their twin mandate, I believe will sit alongside the inflation information and it’s the mix of the 2 that can ship the message to the Fed. Okay, you possibly can really feel considerably assured that not solely has inflation come right down to or near the goal, however circumstances within the labor market will not be such that it’s prone to reignite inflation once more if we begin to ease coverage. So we all the time take note of labor market information, however the level is that I believe the Fed goes to have a extra eager eye on that than was the case in the course of the tightening a part of the cycle.

Dave:All proper, properly thanks a lot, Liz Ann. We’ll after all hyperlink to your report within the present notes. Is there anyplace else individuals can discover you in the event that they need to comply with your work?

Liz Ann:Certain. So all of our work is definitely on the general public web site of Schwab.com. That’s one factor lots of people don’t understand. You don’t need to be a shopper, you don’t have to log in. There’s a be taught part on Schwab.com. That’s the place all of our written, what we heard is. That mentioned, most likely essentially the most environment friendly option to get all the pieces, not simply written studies and movies and hyperlinks to our new podcast, however the every day huge manufacturing of charts and reactions to financial information on both Twitter, X, previously referred to as Twitter, or LinkedIn. In order that’s most likely the best type of one-stop procuring option to get all the pieces.

Dave:Completely. And we’ll make certain to hyperlink to Liz Ann’s Twitter or X profile in addition to her LinkedIn profile under, if you wish to examine that out. Liz Ann, thanks once more for becoming a member of us. We actually recognize it. Have a cheerful New 12 months.

Liz Ann:You too. Thanks.
