so a company like axtron in germany who makes depp sigz equipment to make l.e.d.s, that's a large pogin the pond and we're looking for pullbacks like that going forward. palm, i think it's called now, is another big position in the fund and we look at that as exposed to a global market shifting to smart phones, a company with a very small market cap and that's a great new technology. so we expect things to be volatile and we expect to have to add on volatility, but being supposed to those kind of trends, we think, is very positive. >> you also like microsoft. it has another roll out of windows that's coming? >> so microsoft is a cheap stock and it's controversial. and i think you can rightly make an argument that they've been pouring out capital over the past few years in terms of where they're investing. that said, coming off this kind of disaster in terms of technology, we think that windows 7.0 looks much more attractive and we think that they've made a lot of strides with bing and with the new arch engine. given the cycle, we think that's a good position for the fund to hold. >> y

chaffetz: i rise with depp concern about the families of the united states of america. the economics of this credit card congress are not working. where are the jobs? you cannot tax and spend our way out of our challenges. i firmly believe president obama and speaker pelosi and the democrats in congress are taxing, spending and borrowing too much money. this credit card congress has put us nearly $12 trillion in debt. we are spending nearly $600 million per day just in interest on that debt. bailouts and stimulus bills that is not helping the average person at home. we have a proposal to slam through a government-run chinese financed system that puts the government between my doctor and my wife. the economics driven by the democrats don't work. we need accountability and a strong national defense. we need to restore liberty for the american people and small business. that's where you will find the jobs. stand up america and put a stop to this credit card congress. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from georgia
