10 year Irish Government Gilts

[Daddy]

Highly risky but yielding 8.8%.

Heard Moore McDowell calling this an extraordinary return if one had a few bob and liked a gamble. No worse than going down to Leopardstown and trying a bet.

He was'nt recommending the purchase of these but just threw it in in a conversation on a radio show on Sunday last.

Any thoughts anyone ?
