Marcus had a pretty decent rate for a 14M CD at 4.4% APY.
they have a variety of products and a HYSA which is at 3.75% apy right now and can usually get a .25% bonus for 3 months if a friend invites you.

The HYSA shows 3.75% APY for me, not 4.75%. Am I missing something?

I'd say 4.4% is good if you care about the backing of a big bank like GS, but not the best deal out there right now.

Some comparisons:
  • My local credit union (Everwise) is offering 4.75% for 13mo CD (Everwise CD specials are usually good)
  • Best national bank deal I can find is Eagle Bank at 4.55% for a year or Stock Yards at 4.50% for 15mo. SYB also has a 13mo no-penalty CD at 4.25% if you want a rate lock and still have the ability to get out early.
  • US STRIPS maturing in August of 2026 (15 mos out) are yielding about 3.6-3.7% on the secondary markets. So, treasuries are way behind, but not subject to state tax. This might make sense if you are in a state with a huge (over 10%) income tax, like California, Hawaii, New York, New Jersey, or Washington D.C.
  • Comparable brokered CDs are paying a hair over 4%.
  • Investment-grade corporate bonds are paying about 4-4.3%, without FDIC insurance.

I do not compare CDs to savings accounts because they are very different products and not usually good substitutes for each other.

I am still debating on leaving most of my money in a 4.40 % high apy savings account of put it in a longer CD

It is a tuff call to know when the fed will have to lower rates due to trump

I wouldn't say rates will go up or down. I can see it going either way right now - pretty uncertain.
  • If the economy tanks, rates may go down.
  • If tariffs cause rampant inflation, rates may go up.
  • If neither happens, rates will probably go down slowly.
  • If both happen, who the $#*k knows.

If either happen, Trump has very effectively set up Jerome Powell as the one he is going to blame for it.

If you know, invest in the futures markets and don't dink around with low-yield super-safe investments like CDs and HYSAs.
