  • Looking for a stable bank for a 1 yr CD?

    I have some cash that I would like to buy a 1yr CD with. Right now it is sitting in CDs at E-loan and GMAC, and will mature in a few weeks. I get the feeling these are not the most stable places, but I am not sure what bank is best. I have used WAMU and Wachovia in the past, but their rates are way down now. The credit unions in my area seem to have lousy rates.

    Go to bankrate.com and search for the highest rate on a 1-year CD. I'd also suggest checking on slightly shorter or slightly longer terms as the rate can sometimes peak at a different term. So a 10-month or 15-month might be paying more than a 12-month depending on the bank. As long as it is FDIC-insured, you'll be fine.
