You make a good point Cary. I'm still digging but there has to be a correlation between high interest rates and high dividend returns. So far I see that the Fed Funds Rate was 10.51% in 1974 and 13.35% in 1980: federalreserve.gov 1974--The S&P sold at 7.5 times earnings while yielding 5.1% 1980--The S&P sold at 6.8 times earnings while yielding 5.7% But how do we explain the P/E ratio. I am afraid that it is still too high but I am sure I could be wrong again. finance.yahoo.com@^spx&d=t lowrisk.com Thanks, RtS
