0:20.2 | radio show. I'm Chris Hill and joining me in studio this week for Million Dollar Portfolio |
0:23.8 | Jason Moser from Motley Fool Income Investor James Early and from Motley Fool Funds Brian |
0:28.1 | Hinman. Could you see he was always gentleman? We have the latest earnings from Wall Street. |
0:32.3 | We will dip into the full mailbag and as always we'll give you an inside look at the stocks |
0:35.7 | on our radar. But we begin this week in the Magic Kingdom. Third quarter profits for Walt |
0:40.8 | Disney came in higher than expected, making it the 11th quarter in a row. That has happened |
