Welcome to Industry Focus, the podcast that dives into a different sector of the stock market each day.

It's Monday, October 21st, joining me in the studio via Skype, certified financial planner Matt Frankel. Matt how's everything going?

Great nothing smells better than bank earnings in the morning.

Well, if that's truly the case on today's financial show we have got a lot to offer we are

digging into what's been a very big week of earnings from companies like Bank of
