I rolled a cd last week. From a 4.5% one (that expired darn it) to a 2+ percent one.
I signed up for the 60 month non-promotion rate – after asking about what I’d lose for early withdrawal. I do not *plan* on needing the money in the near term – this is my emergency fund (you know, in case I get laid off, etc.) If I need to cash it out and it’s been less than a year, I forfeit 90 days of interest. If I need to cash it out and it’s been more than a year – I forfeit 180 days of interest.
I just checked the website

The rates are pretty much the same as last week…
The cd rates are on the 2nd page of the pdf.July 28, 2010 at 10:42 AM #583638UCGalParticipantI rolled a cd last week. From a 4.5% one (that expired darn it) to a 2+ percent one.

July 28, 2010 at 11:26 AM #583572IT.MOMParticipantMy experience is just put the dough in a trusted professional financial investor’s hand. I tried to buy stocks and mutual funds myself, but I have never made significant amount of money, because I couldn’t spend all the time needed for monitoring the market. But my hired fulltime “investor” did better than me by investing in futures, options, commodities even after all the commission I paid him.
