Determine the correlations (based on the 1973–2012 data) among annual returns on stocks, T-bills, and bonds. Then determine the correlations (based on the 1,000 scenarios created by bootstrapping) among the final values for stocks, T-bills, and bonds. Does it appear that the bootstrapping approach picks up the interdependence among the returns on stocks, T-bills, and bonds?
