U.S. Treasuries are considered among the safest investments
because they are backed by the "full faith and credit" of the
U.S. government. While the regular interest payments from
Treasuries are considered quite secure, the value of these
bonds can fall sharply when interest rates rise. The bonds also
carry inflation risk. We could lose money in inflation-adjusted
terms if, say, consumer-price increases outpace the interest
rate on your bonds.

than their investment-grade counterparts. Indeed, they are often
called "junk bonds."

earners.
