Something weird happened when I went to buy a CD.

Maybe this has occurred before, and it just wasn't at a time that I went to buy a CD.

A CD had matured in my Schwab IRA account, so I went to buy another. Side note, CDs are my entire investment portfolio at this time, thank goodness.

There were no new issues available longer than 3 months. Zero, zip, nada. Maybe this happens at certain times of the month and I had just never gone to buy a CD at that time of the month before? Maybe it's a glitch in the Schwab website?

Anyway, it was weird, and naturally the first thing I thought of was a possible relation to the current economic dumpster fire.

The last of my treasuries matured in March. I didn't buy more.
