| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dividend Cafe weekly market commentary focused on dividends in your portfolio and dividends in your understanding of economic life. |
| 0:14.0 | Welcome to Dividend Cafe. This is Thursday, October the 3rd. |
| 0:18.0 | Brights I tell with you in New York City and our office here in Midtown, Manhattan. |
| 0:23.8 | In what was a bit of a down day, although fairly quiet, we had the Dow down 238 points, |
| 0:31.2 | which is about 57 basis points. The S&P was down about 0.3%, and the tenure was up about six basis points to 384. |

| 1:43.9 | And if so, is it done so at the |
