| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dividend Cafe, weekly market commentary focused on dividends in your portfolio |

| 0:12.0 | Hello and welcome to a very important Monday Dividend Cafe. |
| 0:18.0 | I say it's important for a few reasons, and hopefully by the time I'm done talking, |
| 0:22.5 | I'll be able to unpack all of that. Let's just start with the market activity. It is a two-week |
