| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone welcome to Industry Focus the podcast that dives into a different |
| 0:05.8 | sector of the stock market every day. You're listening to the Financials Edition |
| 0:09.3 | taped today on Monday, December 19th 2016. My name is Gabby Laperra, and joining me on the phone is |
| 0:14.8 | Matt Frankel, one of the Motley Fool's top business analyst and personal finance |
| 0:18.2 | specialists. How is it going, Matt? Good, thanks for having me. We are definitely excited to have you here. |
| 0:24.0 | Everyone Today Show is our second annual Just in Time for the Holidays Book Show. |
| 0:29.0 | I don't know what holidays you might celebrate. I personally celebrate Christmas. I believe |
| 0:34.8 | Matt you celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah. |
| 0:37.6 | Yes, we're a mixed household down here. Oh, very exciting and I believe Hanukkah Falls on Christmas this year, right? |

| 1:30.8 | So yeah, right. So every year. So for the last two years I should say and hopefully next year as well I'm really hoping that this will be an annual thing. We have put together |
| 1:43.7 | a book list to help you help the people in your life. Maybe they're really annoying and |
| 1:48.8 | you want them to know a little bit more and you can give them one of these books. |
| 1:53.0 | So I do want to mention that this year we sourced ideas from listeners and thank you to the |
| 1:58.5 | approximately 30-ish people who wrote in slash Facebooked in. I do want to warn you that there are some books on |
