we're here in puerto rico, because john paulson is a big investor in puerto rico, many hotels here. we sat down with him to talk about his investments in puerto rico, but also to talk about his opinions of the market right now and the volatility. he thinks there is a disconnect between the u.s. economy and what's happening in the market. that the portfolio companies they have are doing well and the stocks are getting hit regardless of the fundamentals. that being said, he also made it clear he's not diving in head-first when asked if he's trying to seize on any opportunities of cheap stocks here. >> you know, the market's still falling. so anything you buy goes lower. you know, it's getting near the point where there's certainly a lot of value out there. >> at the same time we wanted to get his opinion on what was happening particularly in relation to the european banking system, which has shown so many signs of distress lately, and whether or not that could feed over in a meaningful way into the u.s. banking system. he said no. >> banks are extraordinarily well capitalized. they ha
