[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 586426, member: 6897"] Bama....T-Bills and notes are traded daily. They have a stated maturity and ONLY at maturity are they actually "due" and you are guaranteed to get 100% of your principal back. But they also carry a stated interest rate and interest is paid semiannually. At all other times they may trade at different rates. Sometimes at a loss (say 95% of par), other times at a premium (say 105% of par). Don't think China wants to Cash in right now because what they're holding may not be worth 50 cents on the dollar. Hold it til maturity and get interest payments plus their principal. T-Bills are maturing and being redeemed at all times so the debt is in effec being retired, however, new isssues are coming out at all times as well. [/QUOTE]
