he's stephen wood, chief market strategist at russell investments. >> hi, steven. why the call for volatility? >> i think there's a lot -- i agree they're very consistent in the forecast on the u.s. economy, but there's a lot of political volatility. essentially, in a fragile economy, we've got european politicians, american politicians doing their best to kind of mess things up for investors, and one of those is the inability to decide where we're going to be in taxs and fiscal policy leading into the electric. that's creating volatility for investors, consumers, and business owners. depending on the election weather romney or obama wins, we'll have implementations of obama care. so there's policy issues on top of the economic and the corporate issues that are going to create the volatility. it's not necessarily a reason to exit the market, but just understanding that there is volatility. >> susie: and when you talk about economic and corporate issues, are you talking more on the u.s. side or europe or both? >> well, i think there's three engines. europe, the unit

russell, about that theory.us a little bit more about that and what you've also seen in other crimes committed. >> well, jenna, so far this is consistent with my theory that this shooter has something to say, and, hopefully, we'll find out somewhat with from the contents of this package what that may be. now, the virginia tech shooter is similar. he mailed a package to the media shortly before his rampage. the different is that he -- the difference is that he intended to die in the course of his rampage, and the colorado shooter clearly intended to survive it, went to great lengths to survive it. so i think this package was probably an insurance policy, jenna, in many case he were to be killed in the course of it that the message would still get out somehow. so i still think we're going to hear him attempt in the course of a trial to articulate the message orally. jenna:sting. jason, who has seen this notebook at this point? we haven't, the media hasn't. have both sets of lawyers already looked through this? is
