I can also remember that, from that time period, the rule of thumb for investing was to look for a P/E ratio of 10 or less.
I wasn’t investing much tin those days although I do remember getting and IRA or something to that effect for 12%.
The banks were really pushing it and when I went to a now defunct bank to cash it in, they were really snotty to me.
Hey, if they didn’t like me getting that much they had no one to blame but themselves. The bank offered it.
I switched banks very shortly after that. I had no intention of keeping my money somewhere where I was treated so poorly.
