| 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. |
| 0:13.0 | Welcome to Dividend Cafe. This is Wednesday, October 16th, and Brian Saitel with you here from our Newport Beach headquarters here in California |
| 0:22.9 | for the Bonson Group here on Wednesday. We had a positive 337 point day on the Dow, so a rebound |
| 0:30.2 | from yesterday. We were up about a half a percent on the S&P, a little less, and up about 0.28% |
