Hm, I should check my inbox more often
I finally logged in to my TreasuryDirect account in order to schedule a purchase, and discovered that I had a notification waiting for me there.
It said, “Treasury is now offering marketable securities at a lower minimum. Treasury Bills, Notes, Bonds and TIPS can now be purchased in TreasuryDirect for a minimum of $100 and in multiples of $100.”
That’s pretty cool, since previously you had to purchase things like that in multiples of $1,000 instead of $100. I wonder what the reason for the drop is though?

The government needs to loan itself more money, so lowering the limit should
bring in more investors to feed its lust for more moolah. ;-)
