In short: Named as the quality anchor of the preferred book in the Q&A on long-end risk. If the 30-year hits 5.5% and the 10-year 5%, "I don't expect a 10% sell off in prefs. I expect like a 3 to 5% type sell off in the riskiest prefs. And then for the more stable ones like Duke Energy, etc., probably less" — the answer to whether preferreds substitute safely for corporate bonds at these yields.
Duke Energy appears here not as a stock idea but as the quality end of Singh's preferred-share book. Preferred shares sit between bonds and ordinary shares: they pay a fixed dividend, rank ahead of common stock, and behave like bonds when interest rates move.
A subscriber asked the right question — if the 30-year Treasury reaches 5.5%, do preferreds fall 10% like they did in the 2013 taper tantrum? Singh's answer separates the book by issuer quality: the riskiest preferreds might drop 3-5%, and "the more stable ones like Duke Energy, etc., probably less." A regulated utility's dividend is about as reliable as a corporate payment gets, so its preferreds are the part of the book that holds up when rates spike. He also expects a policy backstop: if long rates got that high, the Treasury Secretary "would effectively force Trump to pull back."
