How does CD laddering work when inflation is rising?

Joe Heider, president of Cirrus Wealth Management, is included in Amanda Dixon’s Bankrate.com article discussing laddering CDs for the short-term. “Laddering makes sense, but as a conservative investor, I would keep it on the short end because there’s not much of a premium pickup to go longer, and if interest rates start rising, they’ll have the opportunity to capture that upswing much faster,” he says.
