Welcome to the Dividing Cafe weekly market commentary focused on dividends in your portfolio and dividends in your understanding of economic life.

Welcome to the Bonson Group's national video call, Market Outlook with David Al Bonson, January 25th, 2021.

Our host for today's call is David Bonson. the Bonson Group's founder, managing partner, and

Chief Investment Officer, and Scott Gam of Strategy Voice Communications.

For this call, all participants will be in a listen-only mode.

Later, we will conduct a question and answer session.

Please send your questions for that Q&A session to

Questions at the Bonson Group.com. I will now turn your call over to your hosts. Gentlemen,

you may begin. Thanks so much, Erica, as always, and welcome everyone joining the call here.

I think our last call was almost three weeks ago because we did a special one with the kind of kickoff of 2021 and kind of that big picture yearly forecast subject.

And so that was in the middle of that week. And now here we are.

And it's kind of hard to believe we're already almost to the end of January.

I'm going to turn it over to my partner in these endeavors, Scott Gam, who's going to drive

us through a discussion today on a number of market-oriented things and where we are and

our perspective on stuff. And I will, I think we'll

kind of wrap up a little bit shorter than normal today, but we'll see what kind of questions come

in to that end. Feel free to send questions as we're going through live. They will get to Scott

questions at the Bonson Group.com.

And Eric, I'm assuming that we have our people sending those on to Scott because I'm not doing it.

So here we are. Scott, the mic is yours.

Well, David, thank you so much.

Great to be with you as always.
