SSK - SGOV +.03 to 100.28, short term treasury bonds are now yielding over 5% .... why are you still sitting on nearly 70% idle cash ????

Almost all my cash is now in SGOV and I sweep it in and out as needed. This ETF holds very short term treasury bills with a maximum of 3 months to maturity, so they're constantly being rolled over.

SGOV is highly liquid with a very tight 0.01 bid/ask spread.

A 5% risk free yield sure beats the paltry 0.35% interest that Ameritrade was paying on my cash position !

I prefer SGOV to buying treasury bonds directly, but that's another option -
