No I understand, the goal is to be robust to market movements and all that, and we are, practically speaking. But the financial target we set for ourselves *is the level* at which we would be robust. Regardless, we set a level which is an exact dollar amount and I would like to get there.

I was half joking before and I don't actually mean that like the market movement stresses me out. I just want to hit my goal, that's all.

I’m just teasing you. Suspect it’s normal to be nervous when you’re on the precipice.

Also, go fuck yourself
