How to Reach the Government on HH Bonds
The U.S. government issues many different types of bonds. Unlike stocks and corporate bonds, Treasury bonds and savings bonds are backed by the full faith, credit and taxing power of the U.S. government, making them the closest thing to a sure bet in the world of investing. There are many different savings bonds, including the HH series of bonds. These bonds were purchased at face value, and they pay interest on a regular basis.
