Hey, don't knock Jimmy. During his "reign" I made my first investment into mutual funds and I was getting 19% on my T. Rowe Price Money Market Fund.
You don't say. How were bonds back then?
Woe, for the days of 15-20% CDs. Locked in for eight years. Yeah, I want a carter clone in the White House so when I retire in five years I can live off the interest of my savings like Mom and Dad did.
