| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dividend Cafe, weekly market commentary focused on dividends in your portfolio |
| 0:06.6 | and dividends in your understanding of economic life. |
| 0:12.2 | Well, hello and welcome to this week's Dividend Cafe. |
| 0:16.0 | We are getting very close to the end of summer. |
| 0:18.6 | We're not quite there yet. |
| 0:20.4 | We will officially end the summer |
| 0:23.3 | next week, then go into Labor Day weekend. And what that means, of course, is the football |
| 0:29.2 | season will be here and our lives can recover the joy and meaning that they have been missing. |
| 0:35.7 | In the meantime, it looks like right now, as I'm sitting here |

| 1:27.3 | I got a transcript of the speech in advance and then listened to the speech very early this morning. And initially, markets jumped up over 400 points as I'm sitting there talking now. They're up about 200. They may give all of that up. I wouldn't be surprised if they do. They may stay where they are. I don't know and I don't care. |
| 1:48.8 | But I want to read you a quote from Chairman Powell that I think is an appropriate way to understand where the Fed is viewing things and make a big point about where rate policy is going to |
