Hisah so you still have money in Tbills? By the way for those who bought at 18% did they lock in that rate for 12 months, or now that its at 10%, they get the aggregate? I dont understand how you could put money in Tbills yet you knew about Africa oil!!!!


Yes - the interest rate is "locked-in" at the time of purchase

See this RINK for more info

BUT not necessarily for 12 months. You have to chose the bill you want and place a separate bid for it - 91 or 182 or 364 days. Each has different yield.

current averages are:
364-day.....12.638% [dated 13/08/12]
182-day.....10.032% [dated 27/08/12]
91 -day.....8.583% [dated 27/08/12]

We told you guys, Tbills are a sham!! Well not really a sham, but you have to factor in time value of money and downward rate adjustments. Equities always perform better.

Tbills hapana sham, but just a short term (12mths max) defensive tool for investors when the central planning team screws up the macroeconomics. Equities will always out perform money markets except during econ meltdown periods.

debt instruments typically bear a lower
risk.Hence, in the long-term, returns on equities may be higher than
on bonds (though bonds may outperform equities for more prolonged times during this period). This
additional return generated on equities, compared with bonds, is known as the equity risk premium.
