fix-term CDs. But besides interest rate, another important thing to consider

fixed term, for example, callable CDs, brokage CDs and zero cou | b****b

brokeage CDs is when you buy a bank CDs (FDIC-insured) from a broker.
Generally, the rate is better than if you buy from the bank directly (because

callable CDs give higher interest because bank has the right to terminate them
when interest goes down (not very likely though).
zero coupons let you get face value after a certain number of years, similiar
to EE bonds.
I didn't tell you that the best interest |
