"I'm seeing a JPM 1 year brokered CD paying 5.75%."

Be careful with these. They have a call option attached to them, so if rates remain the same or go down, JP Morgan will call the CD and your 5.75% rate will suddenly end. JP Morgan is tricky that way. They're giving you about 0.2% in return for that call option. For me, 0.2% isn't worth it for such a short duration fixed income instrument.
