| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's Kramer, and this is my morning take on the market from today's CNBC Investing Club morning meeting. |
| 0:08.3 | This is a big Fed beating. I mean, we largely expect them to cut rates by 25 basis points, |
| 0:14.8 | but what comes after that? It's still a question. They will update the dot plots. People are going to |
| 0:19.9 | analyze that. Maybe a little |
| 0:21.7 | bit too much, but maybe it provides some indication about how the Fed's thinking about next year. |
| 0:27.2 | But of course, the data will decide what the Fed does. Right. Now, Carl was saying to me, Jim, |

| 1:11.3 | Yep, and you mentioned Best Buy. So you did have a couple positive notes on it today, one being this Evercore |
| 1:16.2 | catalyst call. It is effective through the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in early January. Yeah. |
| 1:22.6 | They say with the stock trading out of significant discounts of the market, expectations now tempered, |
