Still the same case as I mentioned above. If I were to go the quarterly route, I would just keep 3-4 months in a savings account. Yea, the rate might stink, but it's liquidity that's important with an EF. However, by pairing the liquidity of a savings account with the higher returns of CD's, you can (IMO) have a good compromise--the best of both worlds.
