At the moment, I am about 50-50 in FDLXX and I-bonds for Cash. FDLXX yields close to zero; I am holding it for safety and liquidity, not yield. I-bonds are presently yielding 1.06%- better than the 10-year bellwether Treasury note. My present mix has become my "barbell within a barbell."
Normally, I would have some 1 year T-bills too, but we are not in normal times, thanks to the Fed's ZIRP. Fortunately, I have yet to have to redeem an I-bond in order to rebalance into Cash.
