Thanks for your feedback. We have intentionally diversified our business units. We have since sold our retail brokerage and our hedge fund. But, as part of our growth strategy we do intend to continue with our diversified approach. It's a very deliberate strategy, but we need to do a much better job of sharing that strategy with our employees so the vision and approach are clear. Thanks again for your feedback.
