It's taper time for the Fed, or is it? Or do we even care? You're in the right place folks because this is where the money is.

Welcome to this show. It is Wednesday. I am Matt Kopenheffer and right here next to me is David

Hanson, the proud owner now of a brand new toaster. Yes. I told you that I would get you a toaster and I came through.

Don't use I don't usually come through. But I came through big the toaster is at my desk. It's just waiting to get

home to get some toast in there.

Just some plain toast. No toaster oven.

No, look, here's the toaster was great.

I'm very happy about the toaster. I'm happy you're going to have toast at home now.

But here's a more important thing. Yesterday on the show, I said that I was sure that there

are female listeners to this show and that they should email us and let us know, last time I

did this, I was so right on with the college

students listening there are lots of college students listening you just

said before the show I don't think we have any female listeners I still think

that's wrong and I still think our female

listeners should drop us an email W.T.m. at fool. Let us know that they're

listening and let us know their questions. We don't, we're, we're equal access.

That's what we do.

Yes, we're inclusive on this show.

So on that note, we've got a great show today.

We're going to be talking bank branches today.

We've got our ranking game where we're going to go through some of our favorites.

But first, of course, the headlines.
