When do you think QE will start again? Might get greedy and wait for a 3.5% yield, 4% doesn't seem likely.

Imagine investing in the same government that wants you dead.

This is fucking insane. 66x your money in 30 years. ie. Put 1k in treasury bond, have 66k in 30 years. Granted back then they must have thought it was a gamble and the currency may have hyperinflated to death, but instead inflation kept declining

they might halt QT, but they won't turn the hose back on again, not any time soon
everyone knows it was a mistake to let it run this long, just that nobody wanted to be the one to fix it and have to eat the resultant recession

they were on the GOOD drugs back in the late 70's and early 80's

treasury bonds don't quite work like that though

instead of continually compounding upon itself the entire time, you just get paid a twice-yearly coupon at half the stated rate until maturity, when you get paid back your principal

still a really sweet investment at that rate

oh shit, yeah you're right I'm retarded. Is that all bonds or just treasuries? I'm thinking compounding interest like a bank account

notes (2 to 10 years) and bonds (20 or 30 years) pay semi-annual coupons, no compounding

bills (4 to 52 weeks) just sell at a discount to the face value you get at maturity: the higher the rate, the farther below $100 it will sell for

savings bonds have employed various mechanisms depending on the series, but both flavors currently being issued compound bi-annually until redemption or maturity

savings bonds compound semi-annually, not bi-annually, derp

businesses are free to issue and pay their bonds however they like, but I'm pretty sure most of them also do non-compounding coupons as well
