> Short term treasuries were nearing a 5.1% yield as of early last week, and now are below 5% due to demand.

How short term are we talking about?

The 4 week is yielding 4.5% as of the last auction. These rates are all annualized, by the way, so you aren't getting a 4.5% bonus after a week.

Short term duration is generally considered 1 year or under. The Treasury sells bills for 4, 8, 13, 17, 26, and 52 weeks.
