Not sure if I'm posting this as a confession with desire to be tarred and feathered - but here goes.
A few days ago I put in an order on Treasury Direct (this after 3 attempts to logon). I wanted to put $100,000 in a 26 week bill. Ok, cool.
And this has *never* happened to me before.
So today I go to look at the site, give my holdings a once over and guess what - seems I put in an order for.... 1,000,000 - - yes, that's right - I added a zero. It's rather - uh - meaningful zero.
Tried to cancel it as the issue date is TOMORROW but status says "auctioned" and I don't see a button or option to cancel.
So i did "contact us" sent the pertinent info to them on their site in an email.
The bank account I use to fund it has a whopping $140k in it - so i'l be $860k short. So now I wonder:
*Will they go to take the money - and only grab $140? Will they not be able to find $1 mill and therefore cancel the order? OR am I on the hook for additional $860,000 for 6 months.
