Bzzt. FDIC insurance is $250k on IRA's.

Yeah - I just found that out.

Learn something new everyday.

The only CDs I have are joint accounts with the kids - sort of an

5.1% is a nice parking place for some money.

I've got a nice 6.25% APR that matures in 2011.

That's something to roll on the floor for!

You can 5.1's with a less than year maturity.

4.9 for three months on an auto rollover.

It's a good place to park some "insurance/emergency" money - something
that you don't take a huge hit on if you have to access it, but earns
something while you wait. It's a perfect vehicle for that type of
assurance that your money is "liquid".
