Investors in online Ally bank CDs ( 5 year CD currently 1.00%) should take note of a thread over on bogleheads:

Ally has apparently ended its online early withdrawal option. Holders of CDs who want an early redemption must now call the bank and speak in person to a customer service rep. There are also complaints that the bank has effectively granted itself a float of investors’ cash by taking 1-2 business days to deliver proceeds of redeemed CDs to an checking accounts.

Rates seem to be rising suddenly. What are our options now?

Assuming we assume we can predict, buy very short term instruments.
