Bad experience or just concerned? I don't like them for various reasons but feel like apple wouldn't steal my money? Thanks
Apple wouldn't steal your money? Lol. But no, gs had to be bailed out once. I'll never use them. Understand that it is fdic insured, just don't want to deal with the hassle if something happens to my money, especially not at that rate. Not a great rate

I'm a newbie to Tbills, but is there a 9 month duration? There is a 6 and 12, but no 9 that I could find

Log in to your investment brokerage account -- Fidelity, Schwab, etc will list rates, min/max, and durations of bonds and CDs on the Research/Trade sections of their respective websites.

Another option is a 12 month CD with Clearpath credit union at 6%. You can become a member of the credit union by donating $5.
Thanks for this!

Is this the best rate around?
No, my new auto loan with United States Senate Federal Credit Union is approved recently. The rate is 3.49% for 48 months. It's easy to become a member if you're a Federal employee like me but there are workarouns for this.

My brokerage account offers significantly lower yield for the treasury bill, compared to the official yield rate. Any idea why is that?

Yields will be negligibly lower through your brokerage vs going straight to Treasury Direct, but it shouldn't be that different. Brokerages will generally have more flexibility since they're buying them on your behalf and deploying your dollars however they want to. The Treasury Direct site is a dumpster fire but you can use it if you want to cut out the middle man and save a few bucks on whatever you see available on their site.

Contacted Clearpath and they said they do not offer the 6% CD anymore (as of yesterday)

Legitimate question - why don't folks just buy 4 week T-Bills in this climate instead of being tied up in CDs? I'm not seeing the benefits, but admit I could be missing something obvious.
because a lot of people don't understand how exactly that works. (including myself)

It should not. The rates should be close. It should be slightly different because of

1. something called "on the run" and "off the run"
2. bid-ask spread offered by the dealer.

Look at the CUSIP I posted and let me know what rate you see. I can then tell you what is going on. Alternatively, give me a CUSIP you see with the rate and I will check.

What is the best place for a beginner to understand this.
Bonds are a little strange, compared to stocks but the math is straight forward.

The seminole work is in a book by Fabozzi.

But Fidelity and other brokerage firms should offer a good lesson and their platform is easy to use. Just find the timeframe you want, pick the highest "yield to worst" and buy it. Yield to worst basically means, if the bind is called or something else like that, what is the worst yield you will get.

Going to link the Fidelity page here but not sure if it will work but check it out.

And you can sell the bonds before maturity on the brokerage platform - just like stocks!

Iam thinking about this. Was it easy to transfer money from bank to bank? I am thinking of converting my Money market to CD.

Quote from IndigoPlastic487 :
1 month T-Bills are going for 5.4% if you don't want to lock up your money for 9 months. Just saying.
And Treasuries are free from state tax if your state has an income tax. .
