Hello Kirk,

I am not a Vanguard client, Brown (now owned by E*Trade) charges $45 for new Bond/Bill and $10 to rollover an existing Bill. I am assuming that most brokers are in that ballpark.

Safest and cheapest way to do is with an account at US Treasury Direct, but don't expect good service with the govt. This is great for long-term money where you don't need any service other than to buy initially and then rollover.

"Should we call you "Mr Bond?""

As pleases you. I am happy to share what I know on the subject.

Most of my trades/positions in long Treasury bonds are in the Futures market and there I sell lot of out-of-money puts (I have been betting on 10-year not going above 5% and making 40%+ a year returns).

Jas
