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.

• 你買的肯定不是 treasury bill，你買的是2手的 note or bond -slow_quick- ♂ (0 bytes) () 02/07/2023 postreply 09:13:50

• 如果有 accrued interest，那就不是 T-bill。你還是寫中文吧，英文錯字太多很難理解 -slow_quick- ♂ (123 bytes) () 02/07/2023 postreply 09:11:27

• 你這在瞎搞什麽？在二級市場買美國十年期的國債隻差一個禮拜就到期了！我這破唱片再為你放一遍？買新發行的少於一年期的國債！！ -hhtt- ♂ (0 bytes) () 02/07/2023 postreply 11:46:38

• 短期國債每個禮拜都有一次新發行的，利息都在4.5%到4.9%之間。我說過10年期到5%就買，可就是不上去。 -hhtt- ♂ (0 bytes) () 02/07/2023 postreply 11:49:44

• 如果是這樣，你現在應該買入股市！我從去年下半年就一直在叫，股市是大減價，應該買入！今天我不能說是大減價，隻是減價！ -hhtt- ♂ (0 bytes) () 02/07/2023 postreply 11:56:53

• 股市大減價是大盤跌了25%，今天大盤隻比最高點下調了14%。如果你在去年下半年買入股市，平均回報有個10%，好的有15% -hhtt- ♂ (0 bytes) () 02/07/2023 postreply 12:06:08
