The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

That opened my eyes to the sausage making, thank you.
I'll switch to actual T-bills. Schwab apparently has an auto roll feature.

For me, T-bills are a place to park money while I'm now mainly out of the U.S. market (1/3 is still in).
Given that the only certainty these days is uncertainty, I'm writing puts using a portion of those T-bills to back them (vol and hence premiums are high and imo likely to remain that way).
Not going all out on the put writing, but would like to goose the return of the T-bill portion some while still being comfortable with the risk.
