I'm buying 8 week T-Bills right now, which at last auction offered 4.937% interest.

Why 8 week? Because the maturity date occurs before X-day (said to be in early June now) at which point the government borrowing limit is reached.

My reasoning is they won't default on any debt before X-day. While 13/17/26 week bills are paying marginally higher interest, I'm not sure how or if they will be redeemed if .gov runs out of borrowing ability.

Of course, other tangible things are important too. You can't eat T-bills.

This is one area where diversity actually makes sense.
