. >> the market reaction to geo politics is muted at best up to this point at least.s appears to be a positive reaction to a geopolitical event. why does this matter more than north korea and what does it tell us about the market attention on europe? >> i don't know if it matters more but it's the most immediate actionable event to take place and people thought the markets complacent and other than the french german bond spread wasn't anything priced in in terms of tail event but for six, seven weeks the s&p has gone nowhere and in a way it was pricing the tail risk by not doing what it otherwise would have been done which is go up. it's sort of depends on how you look at it but, you know, there are always tail risks. there's always a 1 in 3 chance the market goes down 10% and a 1 in 5 chance to go don 20% and yet over the long term, the stock market up 10% a year, 70% of the time. so there's always a wall of worry to be climbed and not to understate the actual geopolitical risk we have right now and nice to get it out of the way. you know? as your other guest said, t

of course, we don't wish for geo political instability, but how much of that do you think the market handle given how quiet it's been over the past couple of weeks? >> i would agree with that. ipg markets have been complacent for a while. if you look at where the vix is, it's been relatively low. spreads have gotten tight. so ultimately, the returns from where you are need to reflect properly risk and one of the challenges we had coming into the year was that when we looked at many markets, the expectations priced into the market would suggest a lower expected return comeing from here. so, we think that markets are going to have to go through a period of sorting out and more volatility might actually serve the purpose of put meat on the bone for an investor to come into these markets. we're just not there at this point. >> i wonder what sectors are particularly vulnerable, we get an upgrade of western dig today and at the same time, semis break their 50-day for the first time since december. what does that tell us? >> well, a lot of this has to do with investment spending. the tax cu
