Everback and ufb are still over 5%. I probably wont switch because AMEX is just to easy for me.

Ill have to dig a little into those 2 and see how hard the switch would be.

Everytime I post Betterment, I get downvoted for some reason.

They are at 5% with new accounts getting 5.5% for the first 3 months.

I have been pretty happy with them.

USFR is still paying almost 5.5%. Just use that.

You keep posting it and yet, so many don’t/won’t take the suggestion. But it’s been a very convenient place for me to stash cash from option sales while I await the next opportunity (in other words, it’s very liquid).

Anyway…

I can understand inertia if it's just easier to transfer monies inside whatever system you are in back and forth.

But buying/selling infinitely liquid ETFs is pretty damned easy too.

Be extremely careful with Flagstar. NYCB merged with them and is using their name. It is allegedly a last ditch effort to avoid failure. Don’t go over the FDIC limit and be aware there is a real chance that you will be relying on the FDIC one day.

I’m going to max out the FDIC portion on both of my HYSA’s by June and will need a place to park some extra cash. Is there a chance that USFR will lose money? I think I’m getting 4.25% on my capital one and 5.05% on my other one. I’m ok if the HYSA’s go to .001 interest but don’t want to get into anything that I could lose money on.

SPAXX is at a 7 day yield of 4.95% in my Fidelity MM and if something happens I can move it to just about anything.

Any early redemption fee on this?

I don't see how it can lose money. It's unlevered exposure to US Treasury notes. I suppose I can imagine an extremely remote scenario in which the ETF just trades to a big discount. However, if Treasury ETFs are trading at big discounts, then it's certainly possible that money market funds are breaking the buck.

Nope. It’s a money market holding account…interest paid monthly.

ETA: obviously the caveat here is if the Fed starts cutting that return will drop, but unless something happens that breaks money market funds the initial investment is safe.
