After years of chasing speculative assets like crypto and high-growth stocks, I’ve come to see bonds as one of the most underrated and rational investments available.

When I buy bonds, I’m not gambling on market sentiment. I’m lending to entities often governments with a strong incentive to repay. In the case of U.S. Treasuries, I'm effectively aligning with the issuer of the global reserve currency. Bonds offer predictable income, defined terms, and resilience during economic volatility. Rising interest rates, which hurt stocks, actually improve bond yields for new investors.

Institutions like pensions and sovereign wealth funds heavily rely on bonds. That’s not a coincidence. They value stability and long-term solvency over hype. Bonds may not be exciting, but they reflect financial realism. Quiet, steady, and backed by the system itself.

Bonds are floor for investment returns.
Equities will give higher returns.

Look up SGOV. That's one of the best ones you can buy on the stock market. 4.8% dividend yield. All profit is treated as income as opposed to capital gains

You're aligning with an empire that has a legitimacy crisis, can't force project worth shit compared to a decade ago let alone 2, and cannot bring itself to do even the most minor of the necessary reforms to course correct
It's the Soviet Union in 1982, just gayer, browner, and more jewish
