I'm still digging but there has to be a correlation between high interest rates and high dividend returns. I don't think so. From what I recall of the high interest rates in the early 80's, this was a fairly short-lived peak. Most companies make dividend adjustments only on a very long-term basis because they never want to be in the position of cutting their dividend. The only time I've seen corporate dividends reach such high levels is usually when their stock price has plummeted and they haven't (yet) cut their dividend. I think you might be getting confused with corporate bonds which of course must track the general debt markets.
