| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dividing Cafe, weekly market commentary focused on dividends in your portfolio |
| 0:06.5 | and dividends in your understanding of economic life. Well, hello and welcome to another Monday |
| 0:15.0 | Dividing Cafe. I am your host, David Bonson. I am the chief investment officer and managing partner here at the |
| 0:22.6 | Bonson Group. And every Monday, I try to bring you here in video and podcast form a trip around |
| 0:29.7 | the horn regarding markets, regarding public policy, the Fed, housing, economic data, so forth and so on. It's one of the highlights of |
| 0:40.4 | my week to have the opportunity to review a lot of key data, information, do different levels of |
| 0:48.7 | analysis and bring it all to you. Look, everybody is in an election frame of mind right now. So there are plenty of things |

| 1:52.1 | It was down 60 basis points today. The S&P and NASDAQ reached down about 30-ish basis points on the day. |
| 1:59.8 | Nothing extreme. But the VIX, which measures volatility |
| 2:03.8 | of the S&P 500, the move which measures volatility in bond yields, and the C-Vix, which measures |
