I think CD rates are for a different forum but:

I would not be one to lock in for such a long term on a CD rate this low when everyone knows the FED and the market are going to have to increase rates to quash inflation like in the 80's. I remember my grand mother being annoyed at the paltry 6% the bank was offering when her 10 year CDs came of for renewal in the mid 90's. She had a rate of something like 10-12%!!!

Go online high yield or short term CDs. I've got a few 5% at a term of 4 years and the rest in high yield online savings for when rates are higher.
