Default About CD investing

I was at work today and I was talking about interest rates and she informed me about having the interest from a CD put into your savings account monthly so you can earn interest on your interest I never thought of that I always let the bank keep the interest in my CD. Does anyone else have any suggestions on CD's that I haven't been aware of? I am up for any "Secrets of CD Investing".

Gavin, be aware that the advertised APY on the CD assumes that you reinvest the interest. If you take the interest out and put it in a savings account with a lower interest rate, you'll get a lower effective APY.
