The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

And I just bought my first treasuries, last week. I bought one a couple months ago, but it was the minimum so see how it works. Now i have more significant funds in them, so I need to go through the entire cycle before I can say I understand them. I don't trust my intellect alone and need the actual experience of it to get the full sense of the things. - beginner

Despite investing in stocks, mutual finds, and ETF's for decades, I am new to Treasuries as well. I just recently bought my very first one and I posted about the experience over on the retirement board. You may find a morsel of information useful at this link
