High Yield CD Rates - Forgetaboutit

The best one year (12 month) CD you can lock into today is only at 1.27% APY.  They get worse if you are trying to discover a 3 month or 6 month option.

Let's hope at some point certificates of deposit become a better option that can possibly yield 2% or more.  Gone are the 12 month 4% APY rates days prior to 2009, we pray they come back at some point.
