To elaborate for further discussion...

...I have my cash in 30 and 90 day Treasuries but I am not impressed with 4-5% returns, especially with the current levels of inflation. So why is so much money leaving the market for this lame return? The current corporate earnings reports combined with the heavy correction imply buy, buy, buy, but in the NASDAQ only Meta and Amazon were rewarded. I realize it is entirely about interest rates but when did so many people decide to settle for a safe 5% return instead of buying growing corporate earnings? ** Edited by HokieJay at 10/27/2023, 1:17:14 PM

Well, I screwed that up. I genuinely had no recollection of 5% yields in
Tafkam Hokie • 10/27/23 02:10 PM ET
The 1990s before 1999 had a very normalized yield market.

I agree but it took a virus and a massive government overspend to get here.

It took a lot of things to get here.
