As shown by Jeroen Blokland >>> The Ishares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF is down 48% since April 2020.

This means investors have realized a negative return of 15% annually on long-duration bonds over the last four years.

It also means the market for long-duration bonds has to double(!) to erase losses. Source: Jeroen Blokland
