If you have an account with NASA FCU, this is a great deal. However, if you need to open an account and transfer cash in and then transfer cash out - well maybe there are better alternatives.

1. Zero Coupon (3 mo) T-bills are yielding 5.2% (Cusip: 912796XY0). You can ladder these and get up to the 9 mos if you want. The extra 0.3% at NASA (assume $10k deposit) is worth $22.

2. Munis - I am seeing Munis (around 9 mos expiration) yielding 4% - these are tax exempt, so 4% / (1-your tax rate) to get after tax yield. These 4% therefore are close to 6%, but there is some risk in munis.

3. Is it worth it - so for each 0.5% increase in yield on a CD (assume you deposit $10k), you get an extra $37. If your bank has a 5% CD and you go through the hassle (I am assuming it is a hassle) to open a new account to get the 5.5%, is the extra $37 worth it to you. That is the real qs.

Just my $0.02. Peace

Credit Unions are insured by NCUA [wikipedia.org], the credit union version of the FDIC. And NASA FCU is NCUA insured: https://www.nasafcu.com/about-us

Quote from Commodities1 :
Bonds are a little strange, compared to stocks but the math is straight forward.

The seminole work is in a book by Fabozzi.

But Fidelity and other brokerage firms should offer a good lesson and their platform is easy to use. Just find the timeframe you want, pick the highest "yield to worst" and buy it. Yield to worst basically means, if the bind is called or something else like that, what is the worst yield you will get.

Going to link the Fidelity page here but not sure if it will work but check it out.

Thanks for the info. BTW, I think you meant seminal (unless you're talking Florida State).

Check your favorite brokerage site to see a list of CDs they offer. You can also filter by length and whether they are callable, etc.

Last I checked Fidelity is offering some 6, 9, 12, month non-callable CDs @ 5.15% right now. Thinking about throwing a good chunk of change at 3-4 laddered CDs at this rate. What does everyone think, are we at/near the peak? Was the most recent Fed hike already baked in?

Okay. How does someone do tBills every 4 weeks? The website is not noob friendly.

I did this about 1.5 years ago. NASA FCU has "shared branches" with lots of other credit unions where you can make deposits/withdrawals, and also use shared ATMs just like they were NASA FCU branches/ATMs.

https://www.nasafcu.com/branches-...d-branches [nasafcu.com]

Their map to search for them is funky and doesn't show results until you zoom in far enough.
Well, they work from Space so it makes total sense; zoom out as much as possible

Try to utilize a broker's tool, like Schwab. Very straightforward & step by step, pick your ladder length and budget.

If we are talking solely about insurance, ie: losing your money.....If you lost your T-bill money, it would mean a complete collapse of the US financial system. It wouldn't matter.
Not even US, global, if US fail they all farked, so if some peeps stops paying Tbills - it will be your last problem, there will be Russians nukes flying or shit like that.

This, or investing in VZ (Verizon stock) at around 7% dividend yield? Risk is the stock can go down from $37-38/ share price, but the 7% div yield may limit its fall below this, as long as they perform (generate cash and payout the dividend).
