Short term treasury is definitely better than CD. Fidelity has this great calculator for tax equivalent rate comparison. 5% treasury is equivalent to 6%CD, depending on your income. https://digital.fidelity.com/prgw...yieldcalc/
Are you aware that some states have ZERO state income tax? Therefore 6% is better than 5%.Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming. Some here comment on short term Treasuries. Locking to 6% is guaranteed, one month treasuires are the talk since they are the highest they have been in more than 25 yrs. They can change and go lower when rates drop. Nobody knows when that will happen. Maybe not until 2024. Thats also the difference.

That's why I recommend checking tax equivalent calculator. Also, bank can go bust, treasury won't.

% differences don't matter; zeores beside our hard earned $$ do

If someone can invest only 500, their 5% yield would creep up to 525 the end of the year, 512.50 at the end of a six month CD, and so on (if they're not compounded, that is). Not much if you ask me, for leaving money in a bank or any financial institution for that matter, unless in ETF (which would give you more bang for that much)

On the other hand--I read it in an original post not too long ago--someone posted a deal about some CD and investing 50k in it! 50K?? Now that's some serious moolah to put into a CD.

If you can invest 50K in CDs, that tells me you're arguably in top 5% of of SDers. Anyhoo, so, yes, then you can haggle about the difference in annual returns of 2500 (5%) vs 3000 (6%).

Percentage of what principal amount? That often gets lost in such back and forth

Bank is not going bust and it is insured. I don't think you understand where you say go bust. Virtually every bank in trouble gets taken over and there is not a cent of loss . Barely ever does FDIC ever need to payout.

I had cds with both of the bigger banks that recently failed. Cds matured and I was paid out like nothing happened.

Kinda sad, to be honest...
