Dear- Some country has huge prime rate > 10%, such as Brazil. If someone satisfy > annual 10%, one can try to invest CONSERVATIVELY to the nation instead of fluctuating stock market. Of course, there are risk of exchange rate and default. Is there any retail brokers for the bond, such as IB? If so, what is their symbol? -Jay
Furthermore, I can see Egypt+Mongolia+Ukraine > 10% , as shown at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_central_bank_interest_rates
You can get any bond that trades in the US through Interactive Brokers. That includes Brazilian bonds (not all). Play around in TWS, you'll find them.
In the worst case that one of the four countries is bankrupt, we can save the principle almost for two next years if the average yield is annual 10% compounded.
