Why choose a Treasury Bill?

Like a bond, Treasury Bills are another form of an I.O.U. from the government. However, Treasury Bills (or “T-Bills”) typically have much shorter terms than bonds. T-Bills are sold at a discounted rate and can be cashed in at face value upon maturity. For example, you might buy an $800 T-Bill for $780. At maturity, you are still paid the face value of $800.
