| 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 | Well, hello and welcome to this Monday edition of Dividend Cafe. We are going to go all the way around the horn today. |
| 0:20.0 | Lots of market stuff to discuss. A reasonably |
| 0:24.3 | exhaustive update on the public policy side, some thoughts on where the Senate is with the big, |
| 0:31.2 | beautiful bill, and then the normal things with housing and the Fed and so forth. As far as today's market action goes, |
| 0:41.0 | when I say dead flat as a percentage, the Dow was up 0.00%. So I'd say that's pretty flat. |
| 0:49.8 | It was technically down one point, which didn't even register as a basis point. The S&P was pretty |

| 1:53.9 | I think there's some helpful financial economic investment, professional, vocational |
| 2:00.1 | counsel in it that I would not only encourage you to check out, |
| 2:03.6 | but to send far and wide if you're interested. |
| 2:07.4 | The other thing I'd point out is that our homepage at dividentcafe.com, |
| 2:11.1 | we do have a new library of content added |
| 2:15.5 | where all of the dividend cafes are archived and you could scroll |
| 2:20.6 | through and see past words of wisdom that may be easier to find and useful for you in that |
