I think that the pendulum will swing back to the other side one day.

We're waiting for the pendulum to swing back again, which I am absolutely confident it will.

History has always been a series of pendulum swings, but the individual doesn't have to get caught in that.

I know my swing is going to be there. I don't need 600 swings in the cage; I know where it's at.
