00:05:51 · Jordi Hays, John Coogan
[00:05:51] S0: I think it was just a strong hit. [00:05:53] S1: Strong hit. Strong hit for mister Buffett. Well, The US economy is up, interestingly. The The US economy grew 3.4% this summer. Consumer spending, business investment powered the fastest expansion in a year. 3.4% annual rate. The the the latest reading of gross domestic product, the value of all goods and services produced across the economy beat analyst expectations. They were expecting 3.1, came in at 3.4. The report from the commerce department is the last major accounting of The US economy before the midterms election... Midterm elections on Tuesday. So a big referendum on do you vote GDP numbers or do you vote stock market numbers? A lot of a lot of voters have their wealth in the stock market and they're they're seeing a lot of red today. [00:06:39] S0: Well, of course, I think voters care more about vibes than anything else.
