Or you can buy a short-term treasury ETF like SGOV instead, get 5.3% of yield, interest is exempt from state income tax, and way more liquid.
Do not do what this guy says. Get a financial advisor if you're considering it. Do not get you financial advice from SD. Good luck.
I've never had any issues. I've had a checking, savings, and invest account with them for 6 years now.

also, do you mind explaining what this two differs? I don't understand the coupon column but both have similar yields, I'm not sure why the bottom one says NOTE, but only expires in 6 months. The filter is for 6 months treasuries. TIA

Dont' worry about those details in the description. Just sort the column that shows "Yield to Worst" so that the highest rate is listed first (on top). See if the time frame matches what you want then buy it. Or go to the next one if you want longer or shorter, and so on.

Before opening another bank account, I counted I have five savings accounts. Over the years, I have opened them for one reason or another. Is that too many open babks affecting my credit score or let's say getting a mortgage?

This or go straight to Treasury Direct and buy the treasury directly ( a little annoying at first to learn, but easy after that). Not as immediately liquid as an ETF like SGOV, but I got 13 week treasuries for @ 5.5% .

Also, I don't think the SGOV is fully tax exempt as the above statement (not sure, thought I read a small difference). The direct treasuries are fully tax exempt.

Hey steve, did you have to go through a authorization? I sent it in but the rep says it will take at least 20 weeks. So i cant do anything at the moment. Any tips?

We've been with them for 11 years and never had a single issue. Their customer service is excellent and they are available 24/7.

Must not have had stocks with them in 2020 when their entire investing platform went down for days. I got everything pulled out from them after they couldn't handle that

No, nothing like that at all. It went pretty easily. I opened my account a couple years ago and don't remember if it took a few days to get my bank connected but that would be about it.

Does anybody use Etrade to trade t-bills? Is this what it suppose to say? the gain will fluctuate but at the end of the term, in my case 6 months, I will get the $1000? I'm still a newbie at this. From the cost basis, I subract 97.31 from 100, and get 2.69. muliply by 2 to get annual rate of 5.38. is this correct?

Isn't ally bank horrible with problems?

Yes!!! They can freeze your whole accounts and you can't do anything about it for weeks! Make sure you have different bank for backup to pay bills and needs.
