Gyroscopic Investing

I know this should be over in bond section, but this part of the forum is much more sctive and i thought i might get a quick response.

Im trying to set up traditional IRA at treasury direct, but I cant find where this option exists. Anyone do this yet and have a quick hint?

It doesn't exist. It can't be done.

I was briefly excited when I saw this, thinking it was now available. AFAIK it's not available.

You can setup a traditional IRA at Fidelity and pay no fees to buy Treasuries on the secondary market.  Of course you can't buy I-Bonds with this... actually TreasuryDirect should offer an IRA!
