hello guyz..

1. how do i get to open an account for t-bills?

2. can i do it through a proxy? i live in rwanda.

3. Minimum amount is 100k. right?


After much thought and self searching, and a bit of calculations, I have come to the realization that I can invest in 91day t-bills and roll over to new subsequent issues and effectively earn an interest of about 50% p.a

my assumptions ,not professionally certain, are the lowest interest will be until august next year is 13%, plus its an election year, plus a huge public budget deficit.

or could i be missing something?
merci.

While the average savings rate is 1.37%pa (Aug 2011) so the monthly rate is peanuts... The bank deposit rate is 4.07%pa (Aug 2011) thus the monthly rate is still peanuts...
The idea is to rollover the T-bill as the rates keep spiking beyond the annual average inflation for September currently at 10.18 per cent. Note this is not the monthly rate which is 17.3% at the moment.

Another important thing is T Bills pay interest IN ADVANCE. Technically this means you can re-invest the interest the following week to earn interest on the interest. With a bit of luck depending on how you bid you can get interest rates above weighted average for the week (which is used for non competetive bids). 14.836% was weighted average of accepted bids for last week. Some people got higher interest, some lower according to how they bid. If you do not want to risk missing bid AVERAGE.

18% pa cannot be 6% pm. Aje sasa... And of course it pays better than fixed deposit. Treasury will continue being a better payer than banks for some time until the takataka siringi is completely creamed off the system.
