davidrmoran : No need to send billing, it's the amount that caught my attention!
Avocado colored , @hank & @Old_Joe Are you talking outside or inside color of avocado ?
Late 80's moved into duplex, the phone & frig were of this color & still functional !
I just returned from VG & did the math. From what it cost me to purchase the T Bill I multiplied by 5.5% then divided by 4 , the 3 months of interest for which I will receive. I then I subtracted the cost from what it will pay when it matures &a…
@dtconroe I would post % of portfolio invested, but not $$$$ (amount) !
I was able to make a small 1.5% purchase in IRA of T-note mentioned above. That was all of the cash I had available in that account at Schwab. I then turned to Vanguard to up…

"2-yr FRN Auction is tomorrow, Wednesday, 8/23/23. FRNs pay 3m yield + spread (+12.5 bps expected tomorrow)" @yogibearbull : I looked at Vanguard & Schwab & couldn't find the above offering. Pre schedule shows an R & I think that is for…
"So, you will start out with an edge of 63 +12.5 = 75.5 bps with FRN." Isn't it where you end that counts ? @yogibearbull I'm seeing red on the T-Notes, but once rates start to fall, that is hopefully they do, then the red should start to reverse.…

@rforno : Thanks for the reply. Exactly why I asked . Isn't the money for matured T-bill headed to bank & then back into T-bill on auction day? I'm guessing , that's why I questioned what you're doing .With one month roll, 12* 3 =36 (?) days o…
@rforno : Not a shocker here. Thursday purchased cd at BMO for apy 5.15% 13 month cd. 3-4-6 month cds paying less than 1% .01 &.05 apy !!!! I really got a GREAT Deal.
Thank you @yogibearbull. I will quit looking at that pre-schedule in the late evening. Lazy eyes & mind. No wander I couldn't find 4 & 8 week T-bills !
Not a CD note. While checking T-bills last night at Schwab I found no buys shorter than one year for auction today. So are all the short term T-bills getting bought up as soon as they open for purchase ? I believe short cd's were numerous.
Let me add to carew388 post. I remember when "the border was open & jobs" shipped to Mexico didn't help the working man !! NAFTA I believe it went by, 1992 signed .
