question, all of the questions about the culture of bridgewater.. when you heard all of the different things about, you know, it's a cult, it's a this, a that, everybody's honest and open and tell people they're bad, they're good. how did you think about that and is it what you thought now that you've been there for two and a half years? >> well it's more or less what i thought. what i ultimately believed then and believe now if you can start with a white sheet of paper and say you're going to work in a company where people are honest with each other, people hold each other to an incredibly high standard, where they're transparent with what they're thinking. that's what we're trying to create at bridgewater and the closest thing to that i've encountered. it's hard and that creates a challenge because you're constantly asking the question, where are we relative to where we need to be in terms of excellence and not shying away from studying that gap but that's the critical component of the success so it's everything i'd hoped for. >> i think joe has
