| 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. |
| 0:12.3 | Welcome to Dividend Cafe. This is Tuesday, October the 1st in the first day of the fourth quarter. |
| 0:20.5 | And this is Brian Sital here from New York City. |
| 0:22.6 | What was generally a negative day in markets, although we were off the worst levels. |
| 0:27.6 | And the reason for some of the volatility on the day was some Middle East tension between Iran and Israel. |
| 0:34.6 | There were missiles launched similar to what happened in April of this year from Iran to Israel. There were missiles launched similar to what happened in April of this year from Iran |
| 0:40.1 | to Israel and somewhat of a retaliation for some escalation in Lebanon. Middle East tensions there. |
| 0:47.4 | Oil was up on the day. Stocks were down marginally off of the worst levels. The S&P was down a little |

| 1:40.5 | cutting side. So we'll keep that in mind. The amount of new hiring and quits, though, |
| 1:46.2 | was basically both down a little bit. And so you get a balancing act with some of this, |
| 1:50.7 | meaning that the unemployment rate probably didn't change much. You're just saying that |
| 1:54.9 | there's an increase in new job openings. And that can be a sign of, you know, pick up an economic |
