Pre-tax. You'll owe federal income tax on the interest.
- FooBarBizBazz 3y agoYeah, I think this is part of the reason we have continuing inflation, and a continuing bubble in dumb stocks. The Fed still isn't offering positive real post-tax returns.
- ryandrake 3y agoGood point that I failed to list. It's tough to have positive -real- returns in risk-free fixed income. One advantage of government debt is that it's tax-free at the state level which is important if you live in California, New York, New Jersey, and so on.
