I agree with Jim. You don't want your whole EF in one CD. You wouldn't want to have to cash out a 15K CD to pay an unexpected 2K repair bill. You also don't want to lock in a rate that looks good today only to have interest rates climb over the next year or two and make that rate look not so good anymore. Build a ladder of CDs instead.
