10 Year Treasury Note

Just throwing a general question out to the board.
Yahoo article indicates, Stocks Mixed, Treasury Note at 16 year high. Several articles like this have been posted throughout August. I guess the purpose is to underline/ explain the market decline during this past month. High treasury yields and a lot of cash on the sideline/ not invested. Initially, I am thinking, it might be wise to go ahead and start building up some money in Treasury notes. Its stable/ get your 4%. But if inflation is persistent at 3+%. You really are only netting 1% yearly. And even if they get inflation to 2%, your only gaining 2%. So, you are not crushing it, barely growing. I know that the older you get, the more stable you want. But I guess it surprises me, that there is that much cash on the sideline, just letting inflation erode the value. I get having a "certain amount" in stable funds. My thoughts are about 3 years' worth of income to weather any kind of major recession that would see investments fall greatly. The rest keep in a moderate to moderately aggressive mix to try to get some gains that help you grow your investments.


What are other perspectives on this. How should I look at this differently.

The last I Bond I bought is earning 6.89 (march) and you don't have to let them sit for 10 years.

I have 20 years worth of iBonds that I rotate as the interest goes up and down
