30 yr Treasuries outperforming US stocks over the past 40 years!

For sure.  Again, even at double digit interest rates, a Treasury bet was NOT a no brainer thing like I constantly hear on these inane investing forums.  You have to remember that inflationary rates were even HIGHER than Treasury yields.  No one back then could have predicted inflation rates to be where they are today. 

 

But, from here on out, I use Treasuries as a big hedge.  I side stepped the financial crisis by going into cash in 2007.  But, I kick myself in the ass by not learning about the Treasury trade.  I would have been up 30+% by going to Treasuries vs money markets.

 

What are your long term returns, say for the past 20 years?
