| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's Kramer and this is my morning take on the market from today's CBC Investing |
| 0:06.1 | Club morning meeting. |
| 0:08.3 | We had a series of numbers today where some people have a lot of misperception. |
| 0:13.1 | We're actually looking for good because good is good. |
| 0:16.0 | We're now trying to take off the table the idea that there could be a recession. |
| 0:20.2 | Jeff, I saw so much that was good in this. |
| 0:22.1 | I was surprised initially that the market was down. Yeah, and this comes even as bond yields are |

| 1:20.5 | that are quoted who think that there's going to be a hard landing. This is directly contradicts these series of numbers. It says, listen, |
| 1:30.2 | there's people who are not as worried about inflation. They have jobs. But at the same time, |
| 1:36.2 | if you're J-Pow and you, of course, they meet next week, why make a move? Let it stay here. |
| 1:41.6 | They got jobs at the best time of year or two, holiday season. |
| 1:44.5 | It's always great to see that, especially for the shopping season as well. |
| 1:49.8 | So it was a good report. |
