And you will always get your money back as government bonds are risk free because the government can always repay them. Always, guaranteed, unlike a bond issued by a business, or a bond from a person.
Pls don’t become a bond investor if that is what you believe – likely to get a nasty shock. The so-called risk-free rate, is anything but
The UK itself has defaulted/restructured debt in the past and is currently stealing money off savers via (the alternative hidden game that is) financial repression. Its a scam.
Risk-free – you really have to be kidding on that one! Still some investors are paying governments to borrow money of them at the moment which is even sillier.
So called free-markets!!! (as opposed to massively state-distorted ones)
