Fidelity Fixed Income questions

[andyandyandy]

Gurus,

I have a couple of questions from Fidelity's Fixed Income section and appreciate your help!

1) United States Treasury - 6-month yield shows 4.83 but 3rd Party price shows 97.606. If I buy at 97.606 ,won't the yield be around 2.4 % or little higher but not 4.83?

2) Corporate A/A shows 6.29% for 6 months(Credit Suisse). I understand Corporate bonds are risky but have anybody tried to? How much is the risk vs reward?

Thanks for your valuable input!

As to the Treasury, it is a coupon treasury? it may pay interest, if for example you're buying a 10 year note that happens to mature in 6 months.

4.8% for 6 months. 2.4% annualized.

Edit: Got that backwards, but you get the point.

I take risk in stock or go higher in the equity side, I take no risk on the FI side so I stay with CD, I bond and US treasuries. My AA is 90/10.
