Longer term treasuries are supposed to have higher yields. Inverted as they are is usually a bad bear market sign.

Yep. I invested millions of funds for a city early in my career, and when the yield curves are inverted, you go for safety above all else. This is downright scary.

I typically buy 8 week treasuries.
Gets me some of my tax dollars back.
I don’t do stock markets as I see that as a national casino,
only the house makes money.
Buy stock direct.

That’s true normally, and may be true here, but its mainly inverted because the large bond investors don’t expect inflation to be anything close to as high as it is today in after 2-3 years rather than severe recession fears

Have been investing in 6 month t-bills every two weeks since September, beginning when 26 week interest was 3.576%. The initial bills are maturing this month, with re-investment for another six months at the higher rates. To date, working well.
