"Maximizing Returns: Navigating the CD and Treasury Market for Long-Term Gains"

TL;DR Summary
The Federal Reserve's rate hikes have made CDs and Treasurys more appealing with competitive rates, offering higher yields than in previous years. While both are considered safe investments, CDs tie up money for a fixed period with a fixed interest rate, while Treasurys offer a wider range of maturities and are more liquid. Currently, Treasurys boast higher rates than CDs, but shopping around for CDs can still yield generous APYs. Factors to consider when choosing between the two include investment horizon, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, taxation, and potential reinvestment risk.
