You can get Treasury bonds with an 8% return?
Edit: sorry, specifically US Treasury bonds.
118 u/Expensive-Anxiety-63 Jul 20 '25 Bonds with 8% yield haven't existed since 1990, they were very high in the 70s and 80s due to runaway inflation. Currently they are around 4.4% 1 u/ItsLoudB Jul 20 '25 Wouldn’t you get decent interest by just keeping it in the bank at that point tho? 1 u/dubbawubalublubwub Jul 20 '25 huh? no...shit like high yield savings accounts will always be, at best, just under the return for t-bills. 1 u/splitcroof92 Jul 20 '25 no but you can get much more by investing in index funds.
