Bank issued CDs are an attractive option too. They are federally insured up to $250,000 per bank. Today I am seeing 4% offered on 6 month CDs and slightly more on longer term. I've been told that one advantage of treasuries over CDs though is that they are exempt from state income taxes.
Hopefully all of us talking about safety and bond yields means we are nearing a low in the market, lol.
