In lights of declining US dollars and much worse to come, what's the points to chase ever dropping US saving rates? Sun:

They have not moved (yet?) since the last Fed rate cut.I'm starting to look again too as I have my money at WAMU and Electric Orange (now both at 4.75% 50K+ rate). If WAMU had held on I would have moved the ING money there and lived w/o a few points for convenience factor. Countrywide’s savings link is at 5.35% APY w/ 10K min.

Have Amtrust, FNBO, UFB, WT adjusted rates yet in response to the fed rate drop? If not, I think I'll wait another two weeks to see if they do. UFB sounds interesting...any experience with them? I just tried to go to AMTrust website and it was down. I have had this experience before, which does not give me confidence with them. I show WAMU’s savings square as being 4.75% now.
