| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dividing Cafe weekly market commentary focused on dividends in your portfolio and dividends in your understanding of economic life. |
| 0:10.0 | Hello and welcome to the Dividing Cafe Monday edition. I am your host David Bonson. I am in our Newport Beach studio and I am excited to go through the daily recap that we like to do each and every Monday. |
| 0:25.7 | Before I do, I want to make sure that those of you who didn't receive the Friday Diven Cafe or haven't had a chance to either read, watch, or listen since. |
| 0:35.0 | We'll note that we do a pretty deep dive into the world of index funds, the impact |
| 0:40.5 | of indexing on overall markets, what we think are unique elements in the world of indexing, |
| 0:47.9 | what are same-all, same-all, and how we're thinking about the whole step. It's a major discussion, |

| 1:45.6 | the President G. So there's a great deal of confidence that some of the issues they've been |
| 1:50.5 | fighting about this month that led to enhanced volatility in the first half of the month, |
| 1:56.5 | around rare earth minerals and other technological export permissions and so forth are going to be resolved. |
| 2:05.0 | And so the markets like that idea. |
| 2:08.3 | And it led to the top performing sector today being communication services was up over 2%. |
| 2:14.0 | Consumer Staples was the bottom performing down a quarter point as those |
