| 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. |
| 0:12.8 | Hello and welcome to Dividend Cafe. It is, let's see, Wednesday, May 29th. |
| 0:19.2 | And good to be with you as always. We actually had a down day in markets today for the entire trading session, more or less. We closed lower by over 400 points on the day, which was right around sort of the lows for this session, or close to it at least. So down day in markets, yields on tens were up seven basis points at 461. So you got a little |
| 0:40.3 | backup in rates. And there was some Federal Reserve governors and president speaking today. |
| 0:45.2 | Tone was more hawkish. And so, you know, we got a little backup in interest rates on the day. |
| 0:49.4 | We also had the Fed's beige book for the month of April. I didn't take away a whole lot of new information |

| 1:37.7 | I basically just talked about where we are with earnings, which is you had an 8% per Q1 beat on |
| 1:44.0 | earnings, which was only about a 3.8% beat for |
