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 Hellen. I'm joined by Motley Full, senior analyst Seth Jason, James early and Ron Gross.

Guys, good to see you. Good to see you, Chris.

Coming up, we'll give you the latest on Microsoft, Apple and Fisher prices recall of more than 10 million toys.

We'll talk with Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Charles Ferguson about his new documentary about the financial crisis.

Plus, as always, an inside look at the stocks on our radar.

But we begin with the big macro. Guys, some of the stories making news this week.

The stock market was up nearly 9% in September, making it the best September since 1939.

Consumer spending in August was up slightly, and the US consumer confidence improved slightly in the latest ABC news survey.

Seth Jason will start with you. What was your headline of the week?

1939. I don't need to keep an eye on Germany, do I?

No, big memories. Excellent. That's really good news. 10%.

My headline, I guess that consumer confidence number. The consumer spending number wasn't so bad, but none of this is really up to a level of what we would expect coming out of a big recession, which according to the guys with the green eye shades, the statisticians were coming out of recession.

You usually come out of recessions at a pretty good annualized growth clip for a while, 9% range or something.

We're not even close to there. And a decent economy, your consumer confidence number should be 80s, 90s, an overheated economy, a bubble economy looking at in the hundreds.

This is better than terrible. It's not great. James?

Chris, I'm going to mix it up a little bit and say I noticed that copper is back up past its April highs.

Wow. Copper? Yeah. Copper. Copper, Chris. And on a week dollar and also Asian demand, Asian stocks are writing very high too.

But let's focus on a week dollar because I would not be surprised to see emerging markets be the ones that pull the world out of recession, not the US after all.

So you're just looking to kick back as an American and just let them do the work. Yeah, I would be totally surprised by that since most of them depend on selling their stuff to the US.
