Personal Finance and Investing

at Treasury Direct for T-bills, notes, or bonds. My impression is that auctions on Tbills are held often enough that one doesn't have to wait long (i.e. have idle money sitting around or earning less), but for longer maturity stuff, it can be a big wait for the next option. So I bought a TIPS a couple years ago with 5 years to maturity at Vanguard on the secondary market. But probably not a good way (Vanguard) to get short maturity stuff like Tbills.
