6:30Derek PileckiGUEST
Well, I mean, I think I'm pretty... positive about the environment as far as where we are in the economy.
D

1:32Derek PileckiGUEST
I worked at Fannie Mae, the mortgage company, doing interest rate risk analysis before I moved to the buy side and did equity research.
D
1:39Derek PileckiGUEST
I just have this affinity and this historical personal experience of having worked at a big financial institution.
D
1:46Derek PileckiGUEST
So I've been covering the sector for 25 years, kind of just have this expertise that I feel like I've been able to extract some value by running a long, short portfolio.
