EVERBANK (FL) has a 3 month .300 CD.  In short: I give them 1000, I get back 1075.   I pay tax on the 75, but there are no hidden fees, broker charges, or any of that BS.  Am I correct?

Thanks

No, you get $1003 back, pay taxes on $3, and walk with a whole $2.  In the meantime the bank is still charging 4.5% on a mortgage and laughing all the way to the, well, bank.

It is .3% per year. $1000 X .3% = $3 but that is only if you leave it there a whole year. .3% annually on three months is 1/4 of that.

You put in $1000 for three months and get back $1000.75

^this

you could do way better with something like Ally bank's savings account that pays 0.87%, totally free, no restrictions, no minimum.

actually, Everbank's money market has a better deal:
