The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

This is incorrect.

An I-series savings bond cannot be sold in the secondary market. I-bonds are "non-marketable" securities, meaning they cannot be bought or sold to another person. I-Bonds can be redeemed or "cashed in" with a bank or the U.S. Treasury. The statement above would be correct if it said "cashed in" instead of "sold."


I wish there was an icon I could use of me with my thumb on my nose, waving my fingers, and giving you the raspberry.

Said in only the fondest way possible, of course.
