    Yeah I think the trade war or North Korea like others here have mentioned. Would be interesting to see if the higher borrowing costs and higher gas prices would slow the housing and consumers down in the coming months. If the dollar rises too fast then it could hurt those big caps and multinational too, maybe that’s why we are seeing the outperformance from small caps lately.
