We tend to get initially a big surge off the bottom.

We first see fiscal stimulus.

We got all that last year.

It was a little bit heavily skewed towards technology because of the unique nature of what happened with the pandemic.

But it is the kind of classic lift off the bottom that we always get at this point in the cycle.

Call it 6 to 12 to 10, even a year on from the bottom, we do get these first rumblings of inflation that begins to lift interest rates, and the market begins to go a little bit wobbly.
