So 80B was the bids received for 30B offered. Where will the excess money be channeled to? Stocks?

It gives us hope. Some investors current position is reading negative. At least a rally will rescue precarious positions.

Been doing bonds for a while now...that money has rarely gone to stocks..rem you only pay for bonds on allocation and it's not like it's a refund...there will be a bit of uptick on the secondary bonds market as those who missed the 2 year and IFB go in to salvage their positions.

Just opened my CBK CDSC account, Wish to start trading next week for 182 T-bills. Best bet for a newbie like me is to bid for non competitive - have about 1M.
However, am asking for some tips & tricks for competitive bidding. If am to bid next week, what's the best rate % to bid? Been following bid results and noticed over 80% of investors go for competitive bids even with apparent subscription.

Checked today's results for last week, 182 day closed at 10.137%.

Thanks for your help.

Stanchart is another bank apparently you cant settle for a bond trading in the secondary market as a retail client.
