Investment-advisory firms have been promoting 'guaranteed' annual yields of up to 17.1%, raising concerns about the legitimacy of such claims. Columnist Jason Zweig from The Wall Street Journal investigated these offerings and cautioned investors, stating, 'If it sounds too good to be true, it definitely is.' Zweig's scrutiny highlights the risks associated with high-yield investment products, especially those that promise returns exceeding those of BB-rated bonds. His findings suggest that investors should be wary of investment opportunities that appear overly optimistic.
