let's look at the markets for a moment, seema. this rally we're seeing across the board is clearly about the fed. but the president here has the potential, maybe, to knock off some of those gains and the fact that that hasn't happened suggests, i think, that the market reads his comments in a broadly positive light. and he did come out and say the russian economy will achieve growth. he thinks this year 0.6%. the government revenues will be higher. spending will be positive. the government finances. and he also talked a lot about the central bank and the intervention. he said yes, intervention could come a step quicker as far as the central bank is concerned. but he is supportive of the response that's been taken. i guess if there was anything disappointment for those who would like to buy the ruble today, it was that he didn't come out and say we think that this $400 billion or so of reserves should immediately be put in place to start tackling the ruble's weakness. but he did make the point a number of times that we're not just
