Jason Zweig: Uncle Sam Pays Almost Twice The Yield On Treasurys — If You Know Where To Look

FYI: If someone offered you a guaranteed 3.5% return for 20 years, you’d probably be tempted either to sign up right away or call the cops to arrest the guy for securities fraud.

But the guy offering this deal is Uncle Sam, and you should neither barge in nor run away screaming. You should look closer, because this offer from the U.S. Treasury is legitimate and highly attractive, although it isn’t right for everyone.
Regards,
Ted
