Young poker players and their winnings?

[MatthewRyan]

Short term bond funds would be expected to provide a higher return because they add more risk(liquidity risk, interest rate risk, default risk), as opposed to 'risk free' cash.

Also, notice I said bond funds, not bonds.

For example, currentle the Vangaurd Prime MMF yeilds 4.28%, and the Short Term Bond Fund Index yeilds 4.77%.
