Audrey, thanks for taking your valuable time to post these results every week.
Much appreciated..
Ha ha first and maybe only for the ER forum.Audrey,
Your sharing on this thread has been very helpful. I probably would not have started with T-Bills without this thread.
It was also nice to see your picture next to the cyber truck in the other thread.
I’m buying into a one year t-bill in Tuesday’s auction. I’m hoping for a slight uptick in rate. But will be happy with recent rates as well.
That is incorrect. SWVXX is still yielding 5.19%:T Bills are starting to look good again now that SWVXX (SchwaB MM fund) is yielding 5.04%.

It’s seems pretty entrenched above 5% over the past week so you might get lucky .

Rates popped across the board. Even the 2-year came within a few basis points of hitting 5%.The 52-week rate really popped today!
Trying to use Vanguard's treasury search tool, but no matter what I put in it always says "No offerings match your search criteria". What am I doing wrong here? I've tried entering a variety of values in the different fields, all to no avail. In the particular search shown below, I'm looking for 18mo treasuries with yields around 5.0%.
Try it without the quantity entries? I tested the search without it and came up with 8 items. You can always see the price for the minimum quantity desired under each retrieved result.
Just use the quick search function and select the 2 years tab. I find that much easier.Trying to use Vanguard's treasury search tool, but no matter what I put in it always says "No offerings match your search criteria". What am I doing wrong here?

Today's 5 year TIPS came in at a Real Yield of 2.242%. The coupon was 2.125%. The breakeven inflation rate for fixed rate 5 year Treasuries is 2.44%.
While not as high as last October, the real yield is still the 2nd highest since 2008. I like a real yield above 2%. As one who thinks the glide path to 2% inflation will be longer and rougher than expected, the breakeven rates seems good. Time will tell.
