You can roll 'em over, too. I just looked at the percentages, and the returns on the T-bill AT is refering to have been going up.
I dunno if that's a bad sign for the US economy or not. I seem to remember that rising T-Bill rates reflects rising inflation rates as well.
Real estate, Bobert? I dunno, especially if you borrow on one of those adjustable rate mortgages to get it. I think that markets kinda overbought, an' inflation's gonna take the wind out of the sales (sorry, but not very) and some folks are gonna find that they can't afford what they bought. 'Course, they ain't making any more land in the US, 'cept in Hawaii.
One thing about T-Bills, though -- the US ain't defaulted on loans that I know about, at least yet.
