. >> and josh brown, so that's really where the bull case and the bear case come up against one another. to chris harvey's point of wells fargo is the idea of bull case that the fed will ease. technicals look better. history is on your side versus the bear case where people think they have too much rate predictability and it will be more unpredictable and the vix shows people are too complacent at 13 and eps growth will not be nearly as good as the bulls would have you believe. so then the question becomes, which case do you believe in most? >> i agree. it is very tough. we have had tightening. one of the things we've learned this year is the economy is just less sensitive to tightening than we thought it was especially against the backdrop of a labor force that is short bodies and a situation where people basically had like an 18-month runway with covid-era stimulus to keep spending down. that was then. so now what changes going into the new year? the bar starts to go up for earnings. it's been coming down for three quarters in a row but q3 we had earnings growth. now maybe that gets a little bi
