Haha, great chart buddy. Slight change in interest rates over the past 16years, huh. It’s easy to see why the insurance industry and college endowments have struggled meet the expected 5 or 6% return. I hope you guys have a great weekend.

Things have changed quite a bit. Cant get easy yield these days…..which has just driven up the prices for the dividend stocks, unfortunately.
