Treasury Bills
Treasury bills, or T-bills, are sold in terms ranging from a few days to 52 weeks. Bills are typically sold at a discount from the par amount (par amount is also called face value); rarely, they have sold at a price equal to the par amount.

When a bill matures, you are paid its par amount. If the par amount is greater than the purchase price, the difference is your interest.

You can buy bills from us in TreasuryDirect. You can also buy them through a bank or broker. (We no longer sell bills in Legacy Treasury Direct, which we are phasing out.)

You can hold a bill until it matures or sell it before it matures.

One poster mentioned that inflation is around 8 or 9 percent and 4 percent in a cd or a t bill is not a good investment. I'd like to know what investments is currently paying 10 percent of more to beat inflation?

Quote from hunter44102 :
Yes thats the safe route but we know the Fed cannot keep rates high for very long because national debt will be unserviceable. So many are predicting February bottom. Then it will take off pretty quick. So even locking your money for 1 year may be too long.

They revised the terminal rate from 4.2 to 4.6. It could be more if inflation doesn't cool down and your stocks will shit the bed even harder.

Also the heavy weight still has not dropped much yet (Apple, Google, Amazon and Tesla!!).

can you add something like this to a 401K as the markets are down already and I would love to stabilize my investments. Any thoughts on this?
There are plenty of ETFs that track. Private vs. Gov generally have higher yield such as FMHI or XMTP.

Gov side a person can get in and out of CLTL, SGOV, GBIL, BIL, SHV safely* and easily.

He meant positive 10% returns, not negative. Easy mistake.

Quote from ZirconiumXVI :
Also note, however, that your money is locked up until 1 year. And then if at any point before 5 years you choose to withdraw, you will surrender the last three months of interest. So, for example, if you surrender in 12 months, your total return would be ~7.22%. Still an excellent return for something so safe, but not exactly the advertised 9.6%. It's doubtful that rates will remain this high over 5 years, either... At least I really hope not because the rates directly track inflation so if they stay this high...
I am banking on that too. parking the cash in savings account with at best 2% interest rate is still a far cry from ~7%. the last 3 months condition is fine. i'll just hold onto it for 3 more months if the inflation rate is low.

He said "paying 10%" so I have two options with >10% div. Take it or leave it. Chill

i-bond is designed to hedge against inflation, and it is backed by the US govt. so, if you are only care about inflation, then i-bond is your investment.

Quote from TheScofflaw :
If you are looking to stash ~10k, then I-bonds (also available at treasury direct) is a better bet - 9.62% annualized for the next 6 months (and good chance of a similar high rate for the next 6 months). This can scale beyond 10k depending on the size of the family.
Can you buy a new batch of -bonds each year, or once you have maxed out at !0K can you not purchase any more until you cash them out?

Quote from jincopunk :
The fed chair specifically addressed this during questions to congress and said we are nowhere near the govt not being able to service its debt.
US govt spending was about $9.1 trillion. $475 billion (roughly 5%) went to pay interest on its debt. Mandatory spending was about $5 trillion, so we have ~$4 trillion (10x) to pay for the debt before the govt not able to service its debt.

Other than put options (unless you understand IV and have experience with them, don't learn the hard way) the safest and best yielding return will be this. I think this will be true for a few years as the world de-leverages and monetary bases drain.
