T-Bills... 0.15% Yield... Get Some While You Can!

T-Bill yields are falling fast again. I wonder why? Thankfully Hank Paulson will print more to satisfy demand!

 

Long bond yields actually paradoxically rose as the depression went on by the way.

And yes, for my retirement acct, I paid 0.04 yield on a 90 day and was HAPPY to do it at the time. Its not about return on capital at this point - its about preservation.

 

"Long bond yields actually paradoxically rose as the depression went on by the way."

Combo of "didn't trust government" and "need spending cash"??

Or, alternatively, price enjoys volume and tends to seek out these levels...not so sure this logic applies to treasury market tho.

 

couldn't you have just left it in cash and saved the transaction costs?

 

"Cash" is not necessarily protected. T-Bill are the ultimate safety. If the Gummint defaults on T-Bills (aka 'refuses to print more') you paper money cash isn't worth crap.

 

we aren't going bankrupt in 3 months

 

how do you trade short t-bills?

I found GTB futures on Interactive brokers but apparently no trades

 

Trade 2 YEAR notes or Fed funds.

 

that's all in the western hemisphere. You're too hemispherically concentrated.
