David Viniar: It is very widespread. The business in general has grown. We have both a high touch and a low touch strategy. Our client franchise business in shares and equity derivatives grew well and we also have a low touch strategy where we are one of the leaders in electronic trading and we continue to gain market share. It was across all of the various products within equities.

Michael Hecht (Banc of America): The tax rate last year was about 34.1%. If we assume that non-US continues to pick up at the percentage as a whole, is there room for the tax rate to drift a bit lower?

David Viniar: It is driven a lot by geographic earnings. It is also driven a little bit by the size of the earnings so we have some tax credits that becomes smaller percentages as earnings grow. It is always hard for me to predict. It is best to assume what we had this year for next year, but it could vary by a little bit, one way or the other.
