Investors were aggressive buyers of 30-year Treasury bonds at historically low yields on Wednesday amid expectations the Federal Reserve will announce further easing at next week's policy meeting.

The Treasury Department has auctioned 30-year bonds at a record low yield as fears about Europe and the U.S. economy fed demand for lower-risk investments.

How's this for an investment opportunity: a guaranteed yield of 3.2 percent, with an enormous potential downside. As risky as that sounds, millions of investors are moving money into Treasury bonds as a "safe haven." In early September, the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond sank to a new low of 3.2 percent, while the 10-year note fell to 1.9 percent. If the inflation rate stays anywhere close to its current modest 3.6 percent pace, long-term investors will be guaranteed to lose money after factoring in inflation's toll.

In today's low-yield environment, the U.S. government will pay you just 1.9 percent a year over the next 10 years if you invest in a 10-year treasury bond. That's an all-time low that has many investors scratching their heads.
