| 0:00.0 | It's Monday, April 27th. |
| 0:04.0 | Welcome to Market Fulroy. |
| 0:05.1 | I'm Matt Greer and joining me from Florida |
| 0:07.4 | is Motley Fool contributor Dan Klein. |
| 0:09.8 | Dan, happy Monday. |
| 0:12.4 | I'll believe you if you say it's Monday. They all do blur together as we have |
| 0:17.9 | discussed before. It's day. I know it's day and I think it's not weekend. That's how I measure the days now. Not weekend, day, night, three |
| 0:26.3 | categories. So Dan, let's talk some GM, let's talk some dividends, let's talk some drones, and as we wrap things up, let's talk some talk some drones and as we wrap things up let's talk about something that you just wrote about |

| 1:23.8 | The market bounces up and has a good day. |
| 1:26.6 | Which I like that, that there is sort of an appetite |
| 1:29.7 | for optimism because we've been through such a miserable time. |
| 1:33.0 | That said, I'd be looking at companies that are going to do well during this and after, |
| 1:39.0 | or companies that you really liked beforehand that you believe will bounce back when this is over. |
| 1:45.0 | So I'm not looking to sort of ride out these trends or see what's going on or figure out where |
| 1:49.0 | the bottom is. |
