FYI: This morning I purchased a new CD, Tri-State Bank Pittsburgh, 2.350% 10/21/19 to replace Compass Birmingham Ala. 2.30% maturing today 6/17/19. Regards, Ted
Hi sir congrats... Are you planning to buy individual bonds like hertz car rental like before... 2.3% Ytm is a great vehicle if you do not want any risks
The hope that CD's would continue to rise so that you could build a nice ladder is quickly becoming a pipe dream. The best rates at Schwab right now are the 3-6 month CDs at 2.3?. To get anything better you have to go out 10 years!. The MM is down to around 2.2%. Oh well. Tough on retirees.

Seems to be real rare to have non-laughable rates for short-term CDs.
There's a new "featured" CD for 10 months, at 2.75 yield.
