I'm thinking maybe Capital One or Discover "allocate" the number of CDs for each brokerage (or each brokerage requests a certain quantity) to sell. So E*trade might still have some in the inventory if it moves the CDs slower.jeffyscott wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 10:12 am I have seen that sort of thing before with E-Trade and thought about checking if they really would be able to buy a CD when Fidelity, Schwab, and Vanguard weren't showing any availability.
I didn't have any ability to try submitting a trade there, though. My other option would have been to call Schwab or Fidelity and ask if they could buy it for me, even though it was not showing up online (but I didn't bother).
I could buy from E*trade but I prefer to buy from Fidelity because at E*trade, dividends are usually only posted for use the next day whereas dividends are generally posted in the morning at Fidelity.
