Brokered CD on Fidelity



I should have known the Fed is a bunch of corrupt slugs. if they can reverse course and pivot on news that shows inflation is at 40 year highs, then we have no hope moving forward. We live in an era of hyper sensationalism and facts/reality get drowned out by powerful forces. I got greedy and it might bite me but very valuable lesson learned.

I've been hoping we would see lots of choices at the 5% mark for 5 years (or more) and hopefully we'll still get there. Basically we should see 100 more bps of hiking if things things stay of track. But if the PCE number comes in soft on Dec 1st followed by a soft Nov CPI (in mid Dec) on both headline and core then maybe the fed does pauses after they do 50bps in Dec? I really hope not but I guess we'll see.
I kept telling myself 4.5% was my number but then things kept going and I really want that 5% and maybe we'll still see it but I really don't think we'll see something much higher - possibly at some obscure fi but probably not at the main stream banks. But hopefully I'm wrong and cd rates go higher but I too am losing some hope.
