A bank/credit union CD will usually give you two options:
- Let the interest collect/reinvest in the CD and take all the money at the end of the term. (Note: Brokered CDs don't do this).
- Collect the interest as-you-go, usually monthly or quarterly.

Then, at the end of the term the bank CD has the big *gotcha*.

You have x number of days after the CD matures to take your money out. You have to do in that timeframe. If you do not, it rolls over into another CD of the same term (I.E. 1 year CD makes a new 1 year CD). That new CD probably won't have your awesome promotional rate, and you get *R$#(ed if you let them do that.

So, if you buy a bank CD, have a calendar reminder to take the money out at the right time!
5% not 5.5% (a 60 days 0.5% bonus is awarded for depositing $1k). However, when rates drop so will the interest in Robinhood, the CD is locked in. Not financial advice.
Savings account rate can dip at any time.

Sure the funds are locked in with a CD, but so is the rate.

Obviously you're not supposed to put emergency funds in a CD. Just funds you're sure you don't need for a while.

Any thoughts on Gainbridge FastBreak Guaranteed Annuity? it's around 6 percent for 36 months, but no FDIC coverage so seems a bit riskier than I am used to.

I will probably invest in this CD when one of my T-Bills matures next Tuesday.

Today one of my T-Bills matured, and I immedidately invested it back into the 42-day CMB Cash Management Bill that Fidelity estimates will get 5.3% at auction. Too good to pass up.

Quote from DelightfulCrow1116 :
so what would that mean for people that will have 12 month CD accounts? they still have to honor that, right?

According to their site if u don't want your funds transferred to Betterment u can withdraw your funds. Doesn't say anything about penalties though 😯

How is this taxed?

CD's are taxed as Dividends. Which I think is at your income tax rate

In general, fixed annuities are very safe. Insurance company bankruptcies are exceedingly rare. Hell, AIG is still in business and selling Life Insurance under a new name - they honored their life insurance policies...

That said, I am not familiar with this particular product or company, and the fees on most annuities are killer. Verify they have investment grade ratings from AM Best, Moody's, and S&P. Do your due diligence. If you don't want to do your due diligence, buy an FDIC insured CD.

Even though they don't have FDIC insurance, they are backed by state insurance boards that will protect you to a limited extent if a life insurance company goes out of business. The details of that protection vary state-by-state.

I use the Vanguard settlement fund in my brokerage. Has been around 5.29% and stays liquid.

EDIT to add: I don't have to worry about state tax, which if you're in NY as your user name indicates, T-bills make sense.

Wrong, they are taxed as ordinary income. Dividends are capital gains.

Check their stability. I would stick with A.M. Best rated A or better. If under 100k most states have a guaranty fund to help with failed companies. Gainbridge does not identify the companies they are using and say they are A- and above which leaves some room for weaker companies.

This product is not a "normal annuity" Most annuities are tax deferred while they are accumulating. This is a "non tax deferred" annuity. After reading a little about it, I am not very excited about the product, even though it could really be a good thing if managed properly.

I just checked 3 yr traditional tax deferred annuities and most are under 5.5 now. Even the 5 yr are below 5.5 in most cases now.

I wonder why this made front page and a hot deal while other banks are offering the same rates or better? Oh right, SlickDeals is owned by Goldman Sachs. Never mind.

tell me again why are we not just buying less than 3 month treasuries vs a CD? tyvm

Treasury Yields
NAME COUPON PRICE YIELD 1 MONTH 1 YEAR TIME (EDT)
GB3:GOV
3 Month
0.00 5.07 5.20% -16 -- 8:13 PM

anything below 3 month is worthless.
stop preying on stupid idiots banksters.
