OK I surrender, I bought several of these at the open today. Thanks I did find the other famous name banks on Schwab's list so I spread it out.
Another distinction between these CDs and what you buy directly from a bank is that bank CD deposits can be withdrawn at any time with a small early withdrawal penalty while these brokered CDs have to be held to maturity by someone (to cash out you have to sell-- or croak). So the bank CD has a built-in 'put' option that maybe is charged against the APR? IOW brokered CD = bond and bank CD = bond+put, which could be a big deal if there's an abrupt large rise in interest rates, so no 'free lunch' here, right?
