I don't think there is higher risk, it's just tough. Look, it's a tough business to scale and they tend to be a little bit shorter duration and so the impact of our portfolio -- the percentage of our portfolio will always be smaller given that they tend to be more transitional capital nature, and so the mix is important.

Trump’s threats to security clearances—especially of a still-serving official like Ohr—may actually be more consequential to the intelligence workforce than his expressions of disregard for their product. In a profession that often deals in classified information, livelihoods depend on clearances. Then, of course, there was the five-week government shutdown, which stalled investigations and delayed paychecks at the FBI. The FBI Agents Association released a report during the shutdown in which field agents testified to damaged morale. Otherwise, it’s hard to measure the impact the president’s attitude has had across the 17-agency intelligence community.     

Coats later explained, to Mitchell at Aspen, that he felt compelled to take the job, that giving something back to your country was reward beyond anything you could find in an easier or more lucrative job. But it was not fun. He said that he starts the day asking what went wrong while he was asleep. “I don't get to read about what went right,” he told Mitchell. “That's why I grab the sports page from The Washington Post hoping the Chicago Cubs had won last night. And then the day goes down from there.” He was chuckling as he said this, but it didn’t seem like he was totally kidding.

Josh referenced earlier, the calculation mechanics on this quarter's supplemental dividend. And given this is the first time that NAV constraint has come into play, we thought it helpful to walk through the calculation. Based on NII per share of $0.67, 50% of the over-earning against our base dividend per share of $0.39 implies a supplemental dividend per share of $0.14. That's the first part of the calculation.

We believe that with Airbus shutting down key commercial aircraft models, and Boeing gaining as a result, and that also combined with continued defense contracts, Boeing’s market share will improve during the year.

Volume was up about 4%, and that was primarily due to strong operating rates at our manufacturing sites in the quarter, as well as the unfavorable impact of the planned plant turnaround in the fourth quarter of 2017. As Erin mentioned plant utilization rates in the fourth quarter were the highest across our sites in any quarter since the spin-off and that is really reflecting benefits from our continued proactive maintenance and operational excellence initiatives. Pricing overall was unfavorable by about 1%, primarily due to a 4% unfavorable impact from raw material pass-through pricing, following cost decreases in [Inaudible], driven by benzene and propylene. Market-based pricing was favorable by approximately 3%, compared to the prior year with improved industry supply and demand dynamics in our ammonium sulfate, nylon, and [Inaudible] product lines.

Airbus is the other big name in the commercial airline space, both Boeing and Airbus each own about 43% and 45% of the global commercial airline industry, respectively, by revenue, with the rest of the market share owned mainly by Bombardier and Irkut. While Airbus continues to outpace Boeing in terms of overall deliveries, Boeing’s latest wide-body aircraft, the 777, is doing much better than the Airbus A380, and with the introduction of Boeing’s 777x, we expect Boeing’s wide-body sales to perform better than those of Airbus, and this should translate into slightly increased market share in 2019. This is mainly owing to the Emirates, who will decide whether or not to switch to the new 777x model being offered by Boeing. Should this happen it would effectively end the the A380 program, and help push Boeing’s market share to 45%.
