the european parliamentary elections coming up in may, and steve been interviewed recently by john micklethwaitg saying clearly his movement intends to contest the european parliamentary elections as if they were u.s. midterms or u.s. presidential elections. if you can bring together the populist movements, germany looks to be less stable than it already was. alix: if you made that argument for the u.s., it would be hard for a ceo to want to buy the u.s. after president trump was elected, that would have been wrong. do you need to fear europe? is this going to be an opportunity? >> i think it is a bit of both. markets hate uncertainty. any events that cause uncertainty, that is what you have seen a selloff in the euro this morning. europe has several sources of stability. one of the interesting sources of stability in the face of brexit has been the stability of the european union and the european commission. contrary to what the populists and nationalists may want to believe, there is a great deal of solidarity that goes through the european union institutions. one interesting twist this morni
