| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's Kramer, and this is my morning take on the market from today's |
| 0:05.0 | CBC Investing Club morning meeting. |
| 0:07.0 | I've never seen so many stocks go up 7% or more in a day. |
| 0:15.0 | That was one of the reasons why I wanted to play in the arm holding, because these are incredible win. |
| 0:20.0 | Yeah, and it's really played out over the last week or so, right? |
| 0:22.6 | Meta on Friday, GE Healthcare had a big move the other day. |
| 0:27.6 | Este Lauder on Monday, though, it's given a lot back, kind of as we would expect. |
| 0:31.6 | But yeah, Windstrong today. Disney, of course, is the stock of the day for us, |

| 1:34.0 | profitability in Q4, increase the dividend, semi-annual dividend, 50%, targeting 3 billion in buybacks. |
