question: etrade treasure t-bills and TD AmeriTrade CD

I bought 1k tras t-bills at 2/6/2023 showing yield 3.4, 2/15/2023 maturity, price 999.88, but when I paid, it should accured interest 9.57, so I paid 1009.45. How much will I get at 2/15/2023? I read some article said it only returns face value of 1000. Why I have to pay accured interest? will I lose $9?

The same thing happened in CD at TD AmeriTrade, 3.8% from Ally bank, materity date 2/17/2023, 1k, it charged 1000.89+8.86 interest, total 1009.53, when will I get back at 2/17/2023?

I searched online but cannot find info about arrcured interest.

They are all retirement accounts.

It is my first time to buy. Please help me. Thanks a lot.

你买的肯定不是 treasury bill,你买的是2手的 note or bond -slow_quick- 给 slow_quick 发送悄悄话 slow_quick 的博客首页 (0 bytes) () 02/07/2023 postreply 09:13:50

如果有 accrued interest,那就不是 T-bill。你还是写中文吧,英文错字太多很难理解 -slow_quick- 给 slow_quick 发送悄悄话 slow_quick 的博客首页 (123 bytes) () 02/07/2023 postreply 09:11:27

你这在瞎搞什么?在二级市场买美国十年期的国债只差一个礼拜就到期了!我这破唱片再为你放一遍?买新发行的少于一年期的国债!! -hhtt- 给 hhtt 发送悄悄话 hhtt 的博客首页 (0 bytes) () 02/07/2023 postreply 11:46:38

短期国债每个礼拜都有一次新发行的,利息都在4.5%到4.9%之间。我说过10年期到5%就买,可就是不上去。 -hhtt- 给 hhtt 发送悄悄话 hhtt 的博客首页 (0 bytes) () 02/07/2023 postreply 11:49:44

如果是这样,你现在应该买入股市!我从去年下半年就一直在叫,股市是大减价,应该买入!今天我不能说是大减价,只是减价! -hhtt- 给 hhtt 发送悄悄话 hhtt 的博客首页 (0 bytes) () 02/07/2023 postreply 11:56:53

股市大减价是大盘跌了25%,今天大盘只比最高点下调了14%。如果你在去年下半年买入股市,平均回报有个10%,好的有15% -hhtt- 给 hhtt 发送悄悄话 hhtt 的博客首页 (0 bytes) () 02/07/2023 postreply 12:06:08
