Yes. Highest CDs I'm seeing are mid-4% for 7 to 9 months, but I'm looking at longer-term. Look at Eagle Bank for 12 to 24 months, and Farm Bureau Bank for 3, 4, and 5 years (4.20% APY, 4.11% interest rate as of May 29). You need not be a member of a farm bureau to buy a CD from the latter. Edited to add: A while back, a New York Life annuity (the cream of the crop) was paying something like 7%. Great, then! If you can afford to lose it, hang on until your sensibilities or price trends say otherwise. You can always cash out now and reinvest the original $40K into Tesla, now or later.

This article is to be savored while reading. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Harvard is so screwed... The house of cards is collapsing at Harvard, and this time, it's not just conservative media sounding the alarm. Even The New York Times is reporting that Harvard has quietly admitted it's in "a major, major, major crisis." And that's their words, not ours. Federal funding is drying up, legal heat is rising, and the university's once-bulletproof prestige is now being shredded like a block of cheese. So, what happened? Well, it's the same thing that's unraveling elite institutions across the country: woke ideology, DEI fanaticism, and a toxic obsession with politics over principle. Harvard officials are in full-blown panic mode, and even the New York Times is admitting Trump holds all the cards. This isn't just a slap on the wrist. It's checkmate.

Yee-HAAAAA! [Note to T-B.'s self: Jokes worked again... jokes worked again... ]

Welcome to the forum! That's interesting. You're probably not the only one. If you're near an airport or port of entry, call to the CBP office to see when you can stop in personally. If you're not in the U.S. now, allocate some extra time to talk with CBP upon your next arrival. Bring some proof to help CBP research and resolve the issue. Others here may have additional ideas. Be sure to let us know how you ultimately resolve this!

Wonderful! Thanks for the update. Happy for you! Let us know about your June outcomes here, in your appropriate filing thread, and your timeline.

Country-specific thread is moved from the K-1 Process forum to the UK regional subforum.

Regarding the Tesla stock, what do your head and gut tell you to do? Whatever your decision, please let us know.

Addendum: I've recently found some excellent CD rates (year or longer) still over 4.00% interest rate. Will be happy to share via PM with anyone. No conflict of interest in the recommendations.

Good for you! Thoughts: 1. If trends continue, even better. Conversely, 2. Greed has hosed many an investment plan. If you can afford to lose your investment, keep intensely abreast of all news and react accordingly. If you can do more with your profits than without them, cash out. Remember capital gains taxes, too.
