So the rate on a Treasury note would be considered the risk free rate. How can i find the rate on a Treasury Note? are we talking about a 1 yr note? Is there a web site where i could find this rate?
Here is a link. Rates vary because there are different types of notes. www.publicdebt.treas.gov/sec/sec.htm Hope it is helpful!
I appreciate your help but i need some more if you dont mind. form the site i got that a 6 month note is priced at 994.79 for a $1000 note but what is the annual interest rate that i can use for the risk free rate? sorry i'm so stupid!
