CD or not

By Terry Savage on October 23, 2023 | Chicken Money

I have retired about three years ago, not by my own idea. I have about 10000 in a savings account. Seeing the interest rates looking good should I put at least half of the savings in a CD? For at least 12 to 18 months? Most of the institutions are not local, but I see Capital One has a good rate. What should I look for besides FDIC?
Thank you
