Wow!  I know things are bad when you are actually posting 2 Star banks with a poor Texas Ratio!  That's also a 5 year CD and within the next two years that bank could be dust.  I know everyone should be ok if they keep within the FDIC insurance limits but I personally prefere not to start off with a bank without a high rating.  I sure hope you can find us some decent rates with higher rated banks soon.  August is my "gasing up the car" month to go find new CDs.
