Nov 16 Issue T-Bills: 4 Week Yield (5.37%) Leads the Pack
Wow, T-Bills are competitive again! I just bought a 28 T-Bill, my first T-Bill purchase since late August.
For November 16 issue T-Bills, the yield for 4 week T-Bills (5.37%) topped both 3 month (5.19%) and 6 month bills (5.22%).
Using the new and improved handy T-bill tax equivalent yield spreadsheet (courtesy of the FatWallet discussion on Treasury Bills), I'm happy to see that my tax equivalent yield for this bill will be 5.67%. As long as T-Bill rates continue to be attractive, I will probably make another T-Bill purchase when this one matures on December 14th.

Glad you found the spreadsheet that mariojm, engineer, and I developed. May I ask how you found out about it ?

Welcome goldsheet! :)
I have been following the T-Bill discussion at FatWallet for about 7 months now (see
T-Bills: An Alternative to CDs), and have been plugging the various incarnations of the spreadsheet every time I blog about T-Bills.
I have learned a lot about T-Bills from the FatWallet topic and appreciate your contributions to the discussion and tools.
