contradict mark on anything. i think the reality is every country in the world is the kind of surveillance that the u.s. does. every country that does all that or wishes they could and trying to figure out how to do it. this is an issue in every single country around the world. if you are a u.s. company or another company trying to operate globally, you have to figure at how to operate in a country where -- in a place where everyone is either doing it or wishing they were doing it. cyber security has become such a crowded space. do you think we are in a bubble? do you think some of these valuations are unsustainable? i was beating to a cofounder earlier who said i think a lot of these companies will not be around. we have placed our bet on titanium. we are living in an online world. the fact that we have this new topic of how to protect cars

they are still doing ok because they will come out with star wars, and we are probably going to go see that movie a number of times each person in the world a number of times. as far as the winners, i took a look at the s&p, and the top winners were m&a related. forumberger bought cameron $15 billion. it was a hefty premium. cameron one of the biggest winners on the s&p 500. that's also backed out of that. best buy a big winner. wra i amis a little being told to wrapp. thank you so much, matt miller. the s&p 500 set to pose the worst month in three years. our next guest says it will need a couple more days to stabilize. we are talking technical.

august 2011. a lot of the intensity indicators bottomed first. it was not until a few months later until the indicators became " less bad." they were diverting with price. they made higher lows. i think we need to see that kind of behavior before the market can start the next leg higher. alix: thank you. we appreciate your tech will take on the last day of august after a brutal month. up on what did you miss, talking to tobias plus glitch tobias, a traitor citigroup for his take on the market. ♪
