re: Bought US Treasury 1y

Curious. My only avenue I am aware of is either TD Ameritrade or Treasury Direct.

TDA has a minimum purchase of 5 so just under 5k. Tres. Direct has in $100 increments.

New to the bond, bill, note world. I did buy I-bonds thru Tres. Dir. and all is well and the purchase via web site was good.

Now the curious part. Is there a reason other than where you have money parked that Treasury Direct is not being talked about as a place to buy. (EDIT- Found a video and it looks like selling a T-Bill is a pain and very drawn out.)

Now a question , with Powell likely to raise rates again and probably again. Would buying very short term like 4 weeks then repurchasing after the next hike be in play. Or is the difference not enough to offset the State Taxes that would be due.
