I’m also impressed by the high money market returns achieved. I’ve been getting around 5% for the past couple of years. But before that it was much lower.
I have found some nice fixed instruments over the past few years, but the highest yielding ones have short duration or are callable. So those nice returns aren’t really locked in.

The idea is to buy low and sell high. But, some people, who consider themselves smart, do just the opposite.
