Right now, I'd take the Treasury Bond.

I wouldn't be surprised if that interest rate hits 10% within three years, and it's a guaranteed yield no matter what.

Well ... assuming there is no nuclear war with North Korea. Or no nuclear exchange with Russia over problems in the Middle East.

But 2-3 years ago? I would've taken gold or Bitcoin out of pure speculation.

Well, you’re buying a bond now, you’re not going to get that interest rate. - znufrii Dec 5, 16:01 7
- I guess I'm mistaking Treasury Bonds for something else? Maybe for some other type of bond. I dunno. - ReluctantCynic Dec 5, 16:07

        I have the volume muted myself. Its just that I see a note symbol coming out indicating a sweet sound :) -- nm - crash davis Dec 5, 16:19
gold is a key component of the nutter economy - I'll invest in gold and gun stocks only if the president is a woman or black -- nm - crash davis Dec 5, 15:51 2

    - Yep. And I've had a Bitcoin wallet since late 2014 or early 2015. - ReluctantCynic Dec 5, 15:59 5
      - I really need to get some stuff done this upcoming year, like making a will. Do you take chicken wings as a form of payment? -- nm - crash davis Dec 5, 16:04 4
        
        My parents keep telling me to get a will. I keep telling them to pay for it for Christmas. They aren't amused, I don't think. -- nm - ty97 Dec 5, 16:17 1
        
        I'll keep you informed if I can work out a deal using chicken wings. -- nm - crash davis Dec 5, 16:20
        
        What type of chicken wings? - ReluctantCynic Dec 5, 16:09 1
        
        The ones they would have flown with had they not spent their live in a cage. - crash davis Dec 5, 16:14
