Ok - sorry, I have another stupid question. Is there any risk involved with these? I see from a quick google search that they are backed by the U.S. Government, but is there something I am missing?

Not really. Any default by the U.S. in June or July would likely just be technical in nature. Worst case, interest payments might be delayed by a few weeks at most… but I’ll be surprised if that even happens.

As I mentioned above, I’ll plow some free cash into more bills to take advantage of this (likely) short term yield premium.

They are the risk free standard in the US. Everything else is presumed to have more risk.
