Another, more positive way to look at things: For just the 15th time since 1947, the discount yield on the 3-month T-Bill had declined more than 18% from its peak. In the past, the average increase in the S&P 500 Common Stock Index in the year after a T-Bill rate decline exceeded 18% was 25.4%. Small cap stock results were even more impressive, as tabulated below. 12-Month Stock Price Changes Following T-Bill Rate Decreases exceeding 18%: Date Big-Cap Small-Cap 9/53 35.6% 30.5% 1/54 36.2% 47.8% 1/58 32.2% 53.3% 3/60 17.7% 17.2% 3/67 -1.3% 30.7% 7/70 22.0% 36.0% 11/71 24.9% 17.8% 12/74 28.6% 70.1% 1/76 0.6% 24.9% 5/80 6.4% 11.3% 11/81 7.5% 24.7% 8/82 33.3% 85.8% 12/84 27.4% 25.7% 10/90 27.2% 39.0% 9/98 ? ?
