| 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. |
| 0:11.6 | Welcome to Dividend Cafe. This is Brian Saitel here with you at TBG, New York City headquarters on July 22nd, Tuesday. Good to be with you here today. On a bit of a mixed |
| 0:24.1 | market, we had the Dow up 179 points, which these days equates to four-tenths of a percent. |
| 0:31.0 | SMP was essentially flat. NASDAQ was down about four-tenths of a percent. So you basically had |
| 0:36.8 | the big rotation from |
| 0:39.0 | from growth to value on the day. And a lot of that has to do with earnings, but also just |

| 1:17.2 | You had a deal done with Indonesia and the Philippines and 19% tariff rates, which was a headline out |
| 1:23.8 | there. There wasn't a lot in the economic calendar, but there was a decent amount of Fed |
| 1:28.5 | speak. And it's interesting when you have past Fed chairs like Bernanke and Yellen do an op-ed for |
| 1:34.5 | the New York Times and talk about how the Fed needs to maintain independence. Nothing wrong with that. |
| 1:39.6 | I happen to fully agree with it. But just the sensationalization behind the Fed, the importance, and what |
