weren't as onerous as people thought they were it really doesn't impact their core business. today's numbers and the fun inside the store because over 56 percent so far this year why are investors so in love with fleas. i think people really love facebook stock for a pretty simple reason and that's because they repeatedly they regularly post really strong numbers so this quarter they had revenue growth that was almost 30 percent that's pretty standard for them so there's not a lot of places where investors can get that kind of growth and the other reason that's really relevant now is because facebook and a lot of these tech giants are really insulated from the concerns that have been away on the rest of the corporate world so things like trade tensions brock's that those don't have a huge impact on facebook so they do have these regulatory concerns but for now people are focusing on the growth for sure so it's a villain in frankfurt thank you.

a foreign policy perspective so all in all i think there is room for a. piece in interest rates but i doubt that it will create the kind of impact that station is expecting and it this relationship between interest rate then inflation and in the direction in which they're in station things they impact each other i think there's a fundamental flaw in that the firing of the central bank will the new one the mirage bill will he be more politically guided let's say. well his 1st statement to the press was that you know the policy of the satchel bank feel very light even more now on the on the date be on we can assume that he will be his motivations will be there even more. data that he's stuff provides him it than political pressure but that he's in a tough spot and why does the one in general favor lower rights.

well there could be 2 reasons one could be obviously a matter of belief because the interest rates are not. are not well except in his belief but also from a politician's perfect of obviously a high interest rate environment is not good for girls but what i think missing in this picture is that even if the 1st straight forward beyond expectations let's say turkish banks or turkish real estate go to church consumers not in their place to borrow more and make investments or to consume so the impact i don't see how that's going to materialize. in the middle turn i mean you could see a relief for a month or 2 about then. back to the same cycle con soucie thank you very much
