Yeah, I do in fact understand the inverse relationship between yield and price. What I'm saying is that in practice it doesn't really matter with respect to the G fund. I don't know anywhere else one can get a risk free return equivalent to a 10y bond. This whole thing is a very odd, pedantic thing to argue. There's a reason why they make up most of the bond portion of my portfolio.

How about equivalent risk-free return, even better yield, upside potential, optionality...and you don't need to be a federal employee to play? It's been hiding in plain sight[1][2] for over a year now, but I'm not a financial advisor and certainly not your financial advisor...just an interwebs rando with a hobby positing food for critical thought.
