Or you can buy a short-term treasury ETF like SGOV instead, get 5.3% of yield, interest is exempt from state income tax, and way more liquid.
Do not do what this guy says. Get a financial advisor if you're considering it. Do not get you financial advice from SD. Good luck.
I've never had any issues. I've had a checking, savings, and invest account with them for 6 years now.

Did anyone else get in on the 4.75% APY no-penalty CD from Ally back in March? I'm assuming I can open a new NP CD with Ally to get 5.0% APY and then directly transfer the money from the 4.75% account to the 5.00% account. Did anyone else do this? Or can it not be directly transferred like that (i.e., first needs to be transferred to your Ally Savings account)?

I am also interested in doing this.

Has anyone had Ally and Alliant both at any point? We switched from a local credit union to Alliant which was a huge advantage. Wondering if Ally may even be another step forward. I've considered it.

Agreed why mess with banks/CDs and even SGOV if you can just buy Tbills direct? I'm genuinely curious.

I think I will just stick to T-Bills. About the same rates.

The ETF is the same thing, just in a different package that I find easier to use than Treasury Direct's clunky website.

We've had both for a while now. Alliant is a good credit union but their rates just haven't kept up. Ally was better in raising the rates but still lower than what one can get with short-term treasuries.

I'd like to get some feedback on a particular situation.

My parents bought a High Yield 18 mos. $250k CD back in May. The interest rate is 4.80%.
Current balance: $252,744.48
Current redemption amount: $250,817.63

They are wondering if they would do better to cash out of it now, pay the penalty, and buy the 9 month at 5%? At the end of the 9 months, if the rate is still 5% (or higher) and they don't need the money, they would roll it over. They are in their late 70's and the idea of having the money tied up for fewer months appeals to them but only if the math makes sense.

Thoughts?

Either buy a treasury which locks you in just like this does, or put your money in something like a fidelity money market fund thats yielding 5% with more flexibility.
