Boomer,
My feeling is that we will not see 5% interest on CD's for quite some time. I could not even hazard a guess as to a time frame because I have no faith in the economy right now. (I think I am a victim of bail-out fatigue). We completely bailed out of the stock market, which as our personal portfolio, in May 2006 when we lost 20% in two weeks time. That was cash set aside to carry us until we could tap one of our 401k's and we are now happy we did that.
