So, I want to buy some 3 month treasuries. The next auction is Monday.
For whatever reason, they can't be purchased on Fidelity at this moment (maybe later today?). Anyway, you can buy a 6 month treasury (auction date Monday) that is reopened from 3 months ago. Given they will mature in 3 months, they are essentially the same thing as a new 3 month bill.
So, what's the difference between the two? Is there any reason to prefer one over the other?
Thanks.
