Gentlemen, happy first day of summer.

First day of summer, a little.

A long day of the year, right?

Yeah, it is the long to stay the year, right?

Yeah, it is the long of the year. Wow, someone did his homework when he was in high school.

Nice work.

I feel alive. It's hot outside. It is hot outside. We're going to talk about natural gas,

consumer products, and the business of furniture, but we got to start with the Fed announcement

which just happened. We held off on taping because you know out of respect to the Fed Chairman

The Fed announced the beard we always respect the beard the Fed announced an extension of a bond buying stimulus program. It is a six month

program designed to give a little boost to the economy. Joe I'll start with you. Is this

going to help? Is this just, you know, the Fed doing what little they can?

Yeah, it's a bit of can kicking it's not all that aggressive a move out of the Fed.

There are a lot more weapons in their arsenal than this.

You know I think it just speaks to they're a little bit concerned about the economy here

domestically and Europe at large, but it isn't the biggest move that we might end up seeing

out of them.
