iBonds
I listened to your program on WGN today and the Treasury Direct site being overwhelmed. I have tried for 4 hours to set up an account . The site allows me to fill out a few pages, and then when I go to the next, it stalls and says the page is not available. I’ve used different browsers and different devices. I fear I won’t be able to make purchases. Could you please pass that on to your contacts at Treasury Direct? Thank you!

They know! Here is the latest from the Wall St. Journal:
During just the final week of October, the Treasury issued $1.95 billion in I Bonds, more than the total for fiscal year 2021. In just one year, some 3.7 million new accounts were created on the site, more than the 2.4 million for the prior 10 years combined.
Try late at night!!
