| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dividing Cafe weekly market commentary focused on dividends in your portfolio and dividends in your understanding of economic life. |
| 0:12.5 | Well, hello and welcome to the Monday edition of the Dividendon Cafe. Exciting weekend, exciting week ahead, and it created an exciting day to day. So we're going to get into it, |
| 0:24.6 | market, housing, Fed, the election, just all the different topics I like to cover on Monday. We are |
| 0:32.3 | 15 days away from the election, so we're finally almost there. We'll have a few things to say here today, |
| 0:39.2 | and then Friday. I mentioned in the Dividendon Cafe a couple days ago that this coming Friday's |
| 0:45.1 | dividend cafe will be devoted to answering all the questions that we've gotten related to the election |
| 0:50.9 | and its expected impact in markets and the economy and allowing people to get |
| 0:56.3 | as granular and specific about questions they may have around this whole topic, that'll be what we do |
| 1:01.8 | in Div Cafe. And you're welcome to even send questions all the way through this week. I'll probably |
| 1:08.6 | wrap up the writing by Thursday. But up until then, if you add more, |

| 1:30.0 | 18 basis points. And the NASDAQ was up a quarter point. The only sector today in positive |
| 1:36.7 | territory was technology, which was up over 90 basis points. 10 of 11 other sectors were down, primarily real estate, |
| 1:47.7 | which was down over 2%, and anything down today was related to bond yields skyrocketing higher. |
| 1:55.4 | And so you just had a situation where the 10-year moved up almost 12 basis points. So you had a big sell-off in bonds |
| 2:03.0 | and the majority of the stock market, especially rate-sensitive, small-cap, real estate, |
| 2:10.1 | etc., dropped with bonds. Now, put today aside for a second, coming into today, we had closed another all-time high on Friday. |
| 2:19.4 | We had had six weeks in a row of positive performance in markets. |
| 2:24.9 | And there was significant breadth. |
| 2:27.4 | And this is the thing I want to say about a big difference between where we are now. |
| 2:32.7 | When I look at the elevated valuations and where we were going into 2022, |
