I have question:
Has any of you played around with layered (laddered?) buys/bids of Tbills?
Been toying with the idea as a method to catch rising rates since I missed the huge run-ups we had a couple of years back-cuz money was tied up in a 364-day T-bill.
The way it would work if I had ~600K and wanted to bid on an 182-day bill:
I would bid 100K each month, for six months-continuously. I would then have some chums every month in a cyclic manner so that I am ready to jump into better rates if and when they come up instead of tying up my whole 600K in a single 182-day bid.
Could also work with 91-day bills. Heck, I suppose one could bid every week there was an auction throughout the year....
Thoughts?
TIA.
Yea you can do that...i have done it with bonds...I get regular maturities through out the year.... possunt quia posse videntur

Just personal preference...i get better yields on bonds plus its money am investing for the long haul...the shortest bond i have is 3.7.15....longest is the 30 year... possunt quia posse videntur
