| I-Bond technical question (was I screwed?) I bought some I-Bonds on October 31st, back in 2001 I believe, the last day that of the 3%+ bonds. I was explicit with the bank people about why this needed to be filled that day etc. When the bonds showed up they were dated in November which pay 2%+. I got bank officials to admit this was bad for me, and to take the bonds to their bond department and get me re-issues so I'd have my 3%'ers. These new ones also have November dates on them... What is the chance that these are 3% bonds? As I think now, even if the bond department wanted to fix their mistake, how could they tell the U.S. treasury "Please give us some of those previous, better I-Bonds. We promised someone we'd get some."? |
