Read the fine print. High yield savings accounts can freeze your funds up to 6 months during a recession and in some countries have been looted like Cyprus recently.

Treasuries are the most liquid instruments on the planet. There's a good reason every fund & corporation in the country is in T-bills. For example, Berkshire exclusively buys T-bills with <6 mo maturities. He can pick up a decent yield, and move on a deal in an instant. It takes multiple business days to move cash out of a savings account for example.

It really is a clown world: banks are forced to buy money losing assets then ultimately get bailed out by the governments (actually present and future taxpayers) that forced them to buy the money losing assets in the first place. Even better, most western countries have bail in provisions so your deposit accounts can be converted into shares of the banks the governments killed/saved. You can’t make this shit up.

>> No.15176489

>>15176449
Just want to mention, most of the "High yield savings accounts" you chumps invest in, literally go out and buy short duration securities like treasuries and pocket the spread.

It's almost like paying a management fee. For example, people were raving when Ally was paying 2.1%, but 3 mo treasuries were at 2.6%. The Jews are bleeding you dry on this scam.

I remember in the last recession when commercial paper markets froze and without intervention, high yield accounts would get into a lot of trouble.

Anyone with a portfolio of assets, will keep some cash, say 20% cash. It doesn't matter. There is going to be some cash any entity with a well rounded portfolio is going to have. That cash is there as a hedge, not for yield, so the yield doesn't matter much. Now if you have a lot of cash you obviously can't hold it in physical cash, because storage and security would be costly. You can hold it in banks, but banks can fail, especially in a time where you'd need that cash. US bonds will be pretty much be guaranteed to be paid outside of the complete extinction of the human race, so its a natural investment for cash holdings dispit the yield being low.

You're conflating the denomination of a bond with the designated third party backer of a guaranteed bond.

T-bills are written in USD, payments obligations are owned by the treasury department, since it is a guaraneed bond the state acts as the guaranteeing third party in the event the treasury can not meet its obligations.
