Yeah, different term for the same thing. The technical term is government bond (as opposed to corporate), but most people call the US bonds Treasury notes or T-notes for short.
- dragontamer 11y agoActually, Treasuries have a vocabulary for them. * "Bills" are any Treasury that is shorter than 1 year. * "Notes" are 2-years, 3-years, 5-years, and 10-years. * "Bonds" are any Treasury that is longer than 10 years. They are all "bonds". But the vocabulary is a bit more precise than "short-term" vs "long term".
