Everybody needs money. That's why they call it money.

From full global headquarters, this is Motley Fool Money.

Welcome to Motley Fool Money. Thanks for being here. I'm your host, Chris Hill,

and joining me in studio this week from Motley Fool Income Investor, James Early,

and for Million Dollar Portfolio, Charlie Travers, and Ron Gross.

Gentlemen, good to see you as always. Good to see you, Chris.

We have got the latest on Amazon, BP, and more. With the Belmont Stakes just days away,

we've got Stephen Christ from the daily racing form with some tips on how to make money investing at the track.

Once again, again, looking for work. Unfortunately, the jobs don't happen to be there,

so things are not good. Well, if we have to find a silver lining, that's where we'll look.

James, what do you think?

This is better than nothing. I expected worse. Truth be told, I think these job numbers, though,

are going to be more important as we head towards the election, because people are just going to be watching this more.

So, you know, we've had kind of up and down, up and down. This is a little bit down.

It's still not enough to make a trend out of. So the next two, I think, are going to matter even more.

Right. 1.9% is still growth. So we're not in a recessionary environment,
