| 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. |
| 0:10.0 | Welcome to Dividend Cafe this Wednesday, December the 4th. Brian Saitel with you here in West Palm Beach, Florida. |
| 0:19.0 | On a and across the board up market, this is actually the 11th positive day out of 12. |
| 0:26.1 | So we've got a nice little streak here. |
| 0:29.0 | The Dow closed up 308 points. |
| 0:31.3 | That was on the S&P, by the way, the S&P 500, 11 out of 12. |
| 0:35.2 | The Dow was up 308 points today. |
| 0:37.4 | The S&P up 0.6%. And the NASDAQ was up 1.3%. So a big |

| 1:20.0 | So we'll see what we get on Friday. |
| 1:21.6 | There was an ISM services number out for the month of November today that was just below expectations |
| 1:27.2 | at 52.1. Remember, |
| 1:29.2 | anything over 50 is expansionary. So I take that also as a positive. So a couple of fairly |
| 1:34.7 | decent economic numbers on the day. The 10 years down today, at least four basis points, |
| 1:39.9 | we closed at 418. So we've got a little higher conviction in the futures market on 25 basis |
