| 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. |
| 0:12.6 | Welcome to Dividend Cafe. This is Tuesday, October 29th, and Brian Sightel with you here in our West Palm Beach, Florida office. On generally a fairly |
| 0:25.2 | positive day in markets, albeit mixed, the Dow actually closed down 154 points here. The S&P was |
| 0:32.6 | slightly positive and the NASDAQ was up about 0.7%. We've got a lot of the magnificent seven names reporting earnings this week, and I think some of today's move was related to some of that momentum. |
| 0:45.2 | The 10-year on the day, at least, was actually up five basis points at 432 for most of the trading day, and I almost wrote something about it. |
| 0:52.2 | It actually ended up strangely pulling back right before |
| 0:54.8 | the close and well after all the economic data had already been released. So we closed flat on the |
| 0:59.5 | day on tens. I know that sounds a little boring, but because bond yields have risen now 65 basis |

| 1:41.3 | So it's almost balanced. |
| 1:42.6 | It's almost equal, still a little bit off, |
| 1:45.0 | and it has come a long ways from the post-COVID paradigm coming out of that with everything that |
| 1:51.1 | transpired. More balanced labor market. Again, rates pretty calm on the day, mixed stocks. |
| 1:56.3 | The market is just being pulled right now in different directions. You got election next week on Tuesday. |
| 2:01.6 | You've got a Fed meeting ending on Thursday. We've got payroll numbers on Friday of this week. |
| 2:08.0 | So there's just a lot of different things here being baked into the market. And then on top of that, |
