| 0:03.0 | Welcome to Market Foolery. |
| 0:04.0 | I'm Mark Reith and joining me in studio today |
| 0:06.0 | from Million Dollar Portfolio, Jason Moser. |
| 0:08.0 | Jason, it is a pleasure to have our very first show together in 2016. |
| 0:12.0 | It's been a while. I guess that's a you know |
| 0:14.7 | it's a good way of putting it. The first one in 2016 first of hopefully many I guess. |
| 0:17.8 | It's been a year. Oh my gosh. Well sort of. It's been since last year. It's been since last year if you want to be technically correct which is the best kind of correct |
