you we have to put a label or i'd rather say it's developed rather than undeveloped but. the point from my point of view is let's find opportunities wherever they are whether the developed countries under developed countries are or deserts if there are opportunities there are opportunities but to your point some parts of russia are terribly undeveloped out in siberia for instance i mean there's there are places that are very very undeveloped but as a whole the nation has done remarkable over the past ten to fifteen twenty years and things that are developed now drive around moscow drive around petersburg you'll see it's developed in just about any place else are there any specific sectors that you like say the consumer sector versus the world or do you have any subtle thinks at this stage. well i am more interested in agriculture worldwide than than any other economic sector i think that agriculture which has been a disaster for thirty years is now going to be a very exciting place all of those people who got m.b.a.'s made terrible mistakes they should have been studying
