Crazy cool to see FTNT and PANW move while Russian cyber attacks come into focus. I read that an estimated 60% of state sponsored cybercrime originates in Russia.

Also crazy to see the MFC Green line go down -3.1 points from 23.3 on Wed to 20.2 after the large % swing between the open and close today. It is truly a lagging indicator.
