The fed will continue raising rates. Don't lock in yet. Wait until January at least.

for what it's worth, a local credit union in WI is offering 4.75% for 12 mo CD. The catch is that you have to have an active checking acct. with them..

Yeah, but it ain't the US government. This is money I absolutely can't afford to lose.

JG, I assume this is credit card spread lending money, right? Just curious: does the change in the BK law reduce your enthusiasm for that game at all? I definately have a smaller appetite for debt, especially unsecured debt, given the changes in the law.

FDIC and NCUA are both independent federal agencies so based on your statement, I guess FDIC ain't the US government either. I hope you're keeping all that CC borrowed money under your mattress where it is 100% safe except from thieves. It can still collect 100% dust there.

Only some credit unions are insured by the NCUA. Others claim to have private insurance, e.g., ASI (American Share Insurance).

I should have said, since it's a CU, it is "probably" insured by NCUA.
Same applies to banks, as not all are insured by FDIC.
