ZH said: US 6-month T-bill yields (3.1%) are the highest since late 2007

So, you gonna invest in the U.S. govt, who has overextended their credit account by astronomical levels with no way inhell to pay it back?...instead of investing in a 150-year-old company that has reliably paid a larger-than 6% dividend for decades?
Why do you think they are crankin' the interest rate up on T-bills? Nobody is buying them!
Edit:

Wikipedia said about 'something':
Components are added when they reach the 25-year threshold and are removed when they fail to increase their dividend during a calendar year or are removed from the S&P 500. However, a study found that the stock performance of companies improves after they are removed from the index.

The index has been recommended as an alternative to bonds for investors looking to generate income.

Because I need to purchase a home. I can't risk any corporate stock that might be down when I am ready to buy a home. That is way it is "Called" parking money. Now I have a few hundred thousand in a bank I consider safest of banks. But it earns zero interest.

I noticed you state "FOR DECADES" which implies NOT every one of the 150 years. What were they paying in 1931.........?????????
