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?
