Economic outlook

It's funny, that treasurys have been solidly in 4th place in our contest, right after $$MM's RAVE pick. It ain't a bad place to keep some cash now, just in case. The I-bonds I bought last year paid me about 8% interest over the year that I've held them so far. I also came close to selling, as I was in a cash crunch a bit ago, but I've made it through and am still holding my I-bonds.

I used to get them just with my tax refund money, but when they suddenly went over 7% in yield, I decided it was time to load up with my spare money in hand!

8% is a solid return!

It's interesting. Exactly half of the S&P 500 this year is outperforming the 3.89% shown for the treasury bill in our contest according to:
