Treasury bonds just posted their worst 10-year run in history — down 2% over the decade.
Think about that. The "safe" asset that's supposed to preserve wealth has actually lost value over 10 years. Between rising rates, inflation, and the Fed's tightening cycle, bond holders got crushed.
This isn't just a stat. It's a reminder that "risk-free" doesn't mean "return-guaranteed." When rates move against you for long enough, even Treasuries can bleed.
For anyone who parked money in bonds thinking they were playing it safe — this decade was brutal. And it raises the question: what does the next 10 years look like?
