    Does anybody know the time-of-day, that Treasury Direct updates new purchases?

    The site continues to be very advanced -- for about 10 years ago!

    I purchased TB that settle today, but as of 6 am, not reflected in my account, although reflected in security history, indicating a purchase, & TB that matured today, are already reflected.

    I sent an e-mail, but Treasury Direct instructions, but received a form response that they are not answering e-mails, unless one has a case number.

    I've been laddering TB, as well as buying iBonds, when rates were 6 - 9%, but sold some as current rate closer to 4%, but can get > 5.x % for 13/26/52 week TB

    Thanks.

    I would also look at 17 week TB (4 Month). They are the cheapest TB on the curve consistently.

    The issuer's credit rating was downgraded earlier this week...

    Did you check to see if it's in default?

    :confused:

    You shoulda bought Bitcoin or Solana. Much safer.

    I'm giving you benefit of doubt, that above reflects your poor sense of humor, rather than just ignorance.

    But in case the latter, Bitcoin is about 20 years old, vs > 200 years of U.S. Treasury Debt. The asset value is about $1 trillion for the imaginary token, vs > 25 Trillion, in the most actively traded asset class in the world.

    But good luck with your ultimate value of Bitcoin / Solana; no doubt luck is a major input in any crypto valuation model.
