asian hair, as beautiful and as shiny as it is, it can be very coarse, and very unyielding. so what wen products did for me is that my hair became softer and more manageable and more flexible, and that's really important, especially being an actress, to have flexibility with my hair. i am so happy with my hair now. i love the way it feels, i love the way it smells, my husband loves the way it feels and smells, and it's really important to walk out your house feeling good about your hair. it makes you just a happier person, i think. >> for me, why wen versus shampoo is because ultimately the shampoo would dry my hair out, and take all the natural oils out that i'd then have to replenish by using conditioner, then the conditioner would kind of weigh it down, then i'd use product to volumize it, or to give some kind of curl to it, that would really dry it out, and then i'd use stuff to make it all oily and shiny and sheens 'cause it was dry, and it was way too many things in it. ultimately it just ended up depleting my hair. and now with wen it's like some crazy, fabulous, mult

just like policymakers in the uk, in the mpc are unyielding that spare capacity will remain a dominant force in place for the next one to two years. that may well be true, but i think the risk is they're going to put too much emphasis on the compare capacity for the next now years. but to answer your question, i think they're going to be cautious regarding the economic outlook. there is some talk now that maybe the hawks will get more say in the statement. i don't think the hawks will be allowed to have the upper hand on this stage. i think they're very, very far away from withdrawing stimulus. stephen, there will be quite a bit of attention on quarterly earnings. the third quarter is wrapping up in a couple of weeks. what do you expect to see in terms of corporate earnings? do you think we'll see signs of strength? >> no, absolutely not, certainly not in the united states. it is very clear that one of the key drivers of the market, improvement market sentiment which louisa was just referring to was quarterly earnings. but quarterly earnings from a bottom line cost cutting perspective,
