Definitely. That one I'd take the guarantee for sure. But a more interesting question would be a guaranteed, say, 3% return. Tough one.
5% guaranteed vs PP Results

Re: 5% guaranteed vs PP Results
I'd take a 5% guaranteed real return any day, because the PP does just about that well but with some ups and downs.
However I don't think such an investment exists. If anyone knows of one please post it here!!

Re: 5% guaranteed vs PP Results
It won't let me select poll but I will take the 5% nominal.
I would probably even take 3% nominal.
20 year treasury is at 1.4%. How wrong can the buyers of 20 year treasuries be?
Scary to think growth will be so low though.
Edit: I just checked. 20 year treasury was almost 7% 20 years ago. Put that in context of previous 20 years.
