    About this ebook

    Becoming an investor has many stages. One of the first is moving from high-yield savings accounts to US Treasuries.

     

    After you get a taste of Treasuries, you may seek higher yields by investing with a little more risk.

     

    Baby bonds sit higher on the capital stack than equity (stocks). Therefore, investors get more safety because they will get paid before stocks.

     

    Using baby bonds and Treasuries in tandem won't be difficult because they perform well at various times. You just need to find the one that is out of favor at the moment. Good Luck!

      01  Investing for Interest 113: Baby Bonds vs. Treasury Bonds

      If you are making the switch from saver to investor, one of the best places to start is with bonds. Bonds provide safe, consistent income with the chance for some capital appreciation.

      Treasury bonds are a safe haven for investors because they pose no credit risk (meaning they are considered risk-free). However, if you crave a little more yield, you’ll need to go further off the beaten path.

      Welcome back to the Investing for Interest 101 Series (101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112), my favorite series of all time. Let’s discuss how to squeeze more yield from your bonds.

      Five Takeaways from Sold

      Why Treasury Bonds? Treasury Bonds come in all shapes, sizes, durations, and yields. They are easy to purchase directly from the TreasuryDirect.gov website.

      When the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, this can cause Treasury yields to increase as well. However, things become tricky if you plan to sell your treasuries.

      Your treasury bonds compete with current bond yields. For example, I bought a lot of 30-Year Bonds at 1.5% during the 2020 pandemic. Investors rushed to safety, causing prices to increase and yields to decrease (they act inversely).

      Today, my 1.5% bonds are worthless if I
