The following are a few quotes and a picture from the March 28, 1980 issue of Value Line. They didn’t know it at the time, but rates were near peaking. Looks like the prime rate was 19%. Imagine now the prime rate going from 3.25% to 19%? As those who read our notes know, we are concerned with the current bond environment. 30 year treasury is yielding 2.29%.
“The recent crash in the bond market- which some observers compare to a 50% drop in the DJIA in a couple of weeks.” Value Line 3/28/80
“The most attractive feature of bank stocks is that most are trading at their lowest P/E multiples ever.” Value Line 3/28/80 page 2002
