They use some examples of what happens to options prices due to rates and dividends. Then they discuss the recent rise in long term treasury rates, the downgrade of US Treasury debt, and what if any effect the US Treasury issuing massive amounts of new treasury bonds into the market may have. Exploring the 36-month drawdown in the US Aggregate Bond Index compared to other periods. Finally, they check in on how the 3rd year of a presidential cycle is going and then move on to some recommendations.
