karen, i'm new to this. in terms of the sausage-making process, am i too cynical when i watch this and say, listen, the priorities of relationship, the freedom of choice between patients and the ability of doctors to treat patients and the ability of the doctors to have that freedom, the debate se seems to be revolving around what would be least threatening to the unions, what would be most beneficial to whoever is in whoever's ear, as long as it comes at the expense of the taxpayer, the patient and the doctor. am i too cynical here? >> maybe just a touch. no, i mean, look. indeed, we talked about this. the policy is sort of getting lost in the politics. there's one concern, though, on the face of it, i think a lot of people like the widened proposal. one concern that i think is a valid concern is that, remember over the last 10, 20 years, many union workers have foregone raises because they've gotten increased employer-based health care benefits. so, if you're going to say that's not going to be on the tabl

karen? especially given the economic data we got. >> i thought the economic data was surprisingly weaker. i had actually hoped and thought it would be maybe even a little more positive than the expectations. and in fact, it was meaningfully weaker. that's just one piece of data. so i don't know that you could fill in the whole story on that. but to me the real question is about asset allocation and about equities in the fourth quarter after such an outstanding quarter normally you'd think maybe a little pause. but i do totally agree with joe that there's a chase on to meet the s&p, which has been so strong that i do think there's still a lot of money that needs to be put to work and will be put to work in the fourth quarter. so i'm optimistic. >> will they get spooked by october? i've been seeing -- >> same with september, though. in fact, it was a pretty good month. >> they avoided september. i don't think they want to go back to the well in october. they'll move to the sidelines. that puts

karen, what did you make of it? we did manage to hold the 50-day moving average on the s&p 500. >> i agree with pete. i didn't think the action was that bad at all. the volatility index moved only slightly. there really didn't seem to be any sense of panic out there. and i still found stuff i wanted to buy. >> such? >> becton dickinson is a name we like in the medical supplies business. trading at 13 times earnings. that's an attractive thing to own. the market's giving you a chance here. >> so you were one of those money managers out there waiting for that pullback to pile in? >> right. only to be smashed probably on monday. >> i agree with karen, by the way, on the volatility itself. you look at the volatility, it didn't panic. you saw bigs whooshed in the day early right out of the gate. then once we started to flatline you look at that volatility index, it pulled back dramatically. really pulling back toward 28 after getting 2960, that was a big pullback, pushed back up toward the end of the day. still under 30.
