This is not some sh*tcoin or Ponzi-stock, this is the UK Government’s 40-yr bond. Imagine being close to retirement & buying this close to 100 in Dec last year because you were told “stocks are too risky”, and now sitting with it at 25. And your yield is still only 4.7%.

Me: What if I get it wrong?
Gov’t: You go to prison
