Welcome to the Dividing Cafe weekly market commentary focused on dividends in your portfolio and dividends in your understanding of economic life.

The infamous mute-unmut problem of Zoom that so many of us have gotten familiar with over the last several months.

Well, thank you, everyone, for joining.

It's 2 o'clock in the afternoon here on the East Coast, and I think we're used to doing

these at 11 o'clock Pacific time, and so it feels different to me because I'm on a different

time zone, but I know it's

actually the same time we normally do do these calls. I was trying to think about this. Maybe Scott

could correct me. I think this is the fourth location that I've been in for one of these

biweekly calls because of of course, initially we were doing

them from my house in Southern California when the quarantine was still in effect. Then we moved

to the office back at the Boston Group's headquarters in Newport Beach. Last or two weeks ago,

I was at my apartment here in New York City, and then now I'm at our office in New York

City. So I'm running out of spots to do this from, but I do want to welcome back, Scott Gamm,

and I know a lot of you have sent some very thoughtful questions, and of course, Scott always

prepares some of his own to guide us through this conversation.

If you have more questions as we're doing the call, send him into COVID at the Bonson Group.com.

But I'm going to turn it over to Scott, let him kind of tee us up and we'll take it wherever it goes here today.

Thanks again, Scott.

Well, my pleasure, David, and great to be with you as always.

And I figure we start off as we always do with these calls with your take on kind of what's

driving the action today. We've got a big market rally right now. Stocks up over 1% across the board.

Once again, that continued tech, NASDAQ outperformance.
