essentially racing to accommodate and bring in some sort of transgender policy, specifically florida and californianses or either active or pending. fallon at this point would not have to tell her opponent she is transgender and in terms of what rules are in place in the coming months, i suspect she will have to let the commissions know and they will test her appropriately. >> what do you think ultimately may happen here? >> i think it's going to take a couple months. fallon is in a tournament and she's moved to the semifinals with her win on march 2nd so she's active right now in florida. her license is under review due to a discrepancy she put on her application. i'm told that her license is active. it's not frozen in any way. however, the florida boxing commission starting next week is going to investigate and look at some type of transgender policy to bring in. i think it's going to go through a process that's going to take about a couple months and once that policy is in place, i believe felallon will be able t fight. >> this is something that's very personal for you to talk about. why did you

why is california within this group that includes north carolina, florida, texas, and virginia? re looking for, those companies that are situated to where they can have a competitive advantage, and one of the competitive vangs that california has is intellectual resources in the technology sector so if you look at the research triangle in north carolina, if you look at the palo alto and silicon valley in california, you got the intellectual talent that's there, and you can tap the talent, particularly tied to universities and encourage the costs of the individual, so certainly it makes sense to look at california and north carolina as technologically advanced areas. liz: your fund is beating the s&p, up 19% year over year versus 13 and change percent for the s&p. i want to get to the names you pick. the biggest holdings, these are different. you got -- in essence r you focus on agriculture, something that maybe works into the stacking by stocks in states. cabellas, c-a-b, talk about this one. >> okay. as you stated, we like the agriculture community, the rural community has a lot
