Puerto Rico is very important to him and the fact of the matter is this is the capital of Latin America. Because of that, where could he do more for Latin America? Where could he do more for Puerto Rico than here? These are all things I've put in front of him and made him aware of.

The comments seemed reasonably hawkish. The Fed is concerned about inflationary pressures..It's certainly clear they are plan to continue to tighten.
A much stronger-than-expected showing -- the late September incentives after a poor start to the month had a large impact. This should ensure firm Q3 consumer spending data.
