| 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. |
| 0:11.0 | Welcome the Dividend Cafe. This is Tuesday, June the 3rd. Brian Sightel with you here from our Newport Beach, California office, our HQ here at the Bonson Group on an upday in markets. |
| 0:23.5 | The futures were actually lower coming into the open. So we turned things around, closed higher |
| 0:28.5 | in markets. The Dow was up 214 points on the day. The S&P was up a little over half of a |

| 1:27.5 | volatility, all the talk around tariffs, corporate America kept moving along and kept hiring. |
| 1:33.0 | So those are positive things. |
| 1:34.5 | On the flip side, I suppose, to that on factory orders for the same month, which was April, |
| 1:38.4 | they were down a little bit more than expected, down 3.7%. |
