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

From full global headquarters, this is Motley Full Money.

Welcome to Motley Full Money. Thanks for being here.

I'm your host, Chris Hill. Joining me in studio this week from Motley Full One, Jason Moser,

from Motley Full Supernova, Matt Argusinger, and from Motley Full Funds, Tim Hansen.

Good to see you guys. We have got the latest on retail, consumer goods, and more.

I'll tell you who the front runner is to be the next CEO of Microsoft.

And as always, we'll share a few stock ideas that you can put on your watch list.

But we begin this week across the river in Washington, DC, where Tim,

I'll just start with you, the looming government shutdown.

Who knows if we'll even be here next week to record the show?

Who among us? Who among us can know?

This seems, though, with the countdown to September 30th, the possibility of the federal government shutting down.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like Wall Street is just sort of shrugging its shoulders and saying,

you know what, we're not really interested. We're not worried about this at all.

You know, this is one of those situations where the difference between having money on the line

and just speculating leads to very different conclusions.

So you go, you know, you turn on the TV and it's like, you know, I've got no money in this game.

But man, there could totally be a government shutdown.

And then you go to Wall Street where people are actually investing, presumably based on the health of the economy.

And they seem to think this is not a big deal.

I agree with the latter more than the former. As I say in Texas, this is all hat, no cattle.
