Yield Optimization

Post by MachineGhost » Thu Jul 14, 2016 1:03 am

I just got junk mail from Discover that they're offering a 1-year CD for 1.15%. Rates may be moving up and it may be time to see what the yield curve is offering?

Interesting. Barclays' CD rates have been moving down -- 5yr now at 1.75% (down from 2.25% not too long ago)

I'm glad I locked that in!!! Maybe Discover is just playing catch up.
