Treasuries - how to buy

[habsui]

When the 10yr will go to 5%, I will most likely start buying.

Any reason not to buy via Vanguard or Schwab (instead of directly)?

Cheers..

Buying via brokerages is definitely better.

If you buy at Treasury Direct (TD), and if you have to sell before maturity, then you will have to transfer first to brokerage and then sell. TD is only for buy-and-hold-to-maturity. Besides there are clunky TD issues.
