Vanguard's bond brokerage site isn't very good. Anyone know when the next 30 year auction is? It's time for me to convert some more VUSTX to actual bonds

I believe one typically does a little better at the auction. That's how I usually do it. It's the Treasury's little gift/incentive for showing up.

I only buy at Auction because Vanguard offers free auction trades but charges money for 2ndary market trades.
