I got the same last month. Credit union.

I'm rotating three at the moment since last fall... one 15mo @ 4.25, a 13mo @ 4.5 and just picked this one up after an older 3.75 matured.

I'm not 'rich', just like sure bets for $ that isn't to be gambled with. 

for some of the younger guys here with $1k-$25k burning a hole in their pockets CD's are an easy and safe way to save and get in good financial habits.  in the 80's and 90's I made a lot of easy money from CD's to buy things when friends were taking out loans for everything. 

granted, there's interest income taxes but that's life

How so when they are taxed at your full tax rate and they don't keep up with inflation?

Maybe 60 minutes can explain it?

:lol:

Guys, I'd suggest looking at Wealthfront.com.  They are a AI based investment company but they also have a cash investment account and I believe I'm currently getting 4.3%.  They react quickly to Fed moves (1 to 2 weeks) and adjust rates so you are currently.  Control at your fingertips.

It's economics for idiots 101.

You need to get ahead of inflation.

You thought someone with hedge funds were people who own hedges.

I’ve got about 9 months of living expenses in cash which is overkill because I could find a new job immediately. Everything else is in market investments.

oh golly gee let me think...

keep portions your cash reserves in a 1.10% savings account, an even lower rate checking account or roll in and out of short term CD's above 4%...?

do you breathe through your anus?
