For those of you who keep your money under the mattress, in the freezer or other places in the house PLEASE be considerate and post your address, when you will be out for exercise and as does Motel 6, leave the light on.
Thanks, much appreciated! |

We have CD's with CFR (Christian Financial Resources). We have invested with them for about 5 years. They have a 15 month promotional CD at 3% APR as of yesterday. Minimum investment is $25,000. They are in the business of financing/refinancing Church buildings and remodel projects. They have been in business since the 1980's. They also have a ready cash account that pays 1.8% and you have access to the funds at any time as well as CD's up to 10 year term. They are not FDIC insured.

This is the time to invest in the stock market. It may still go lower in the next month or two, but the potential for profit is great over the next several years when thinks return to normal. Put you have to leave it in the market for these several years. This is not for the faint of heart. Do not invest if you need the cash to survive.

I worry more about every bodies money that’s in bank. Will the govt. step in & start taking money from the banks? Will somebody warn us if the govt. steps in & starts using our Sav.? I always thought if the govt. had their fingers in banks anyway shape or form, they could take it or keep you from getting any of our own money. This is just a thought, but I really don’t think it’ll get that bad. Does anybody have any thoughts about that?

I looked for that but didn't find it. I found only a Discover Online Savings Account, 1.5%, compounded daily, paid monthly.

You are correct, I got an e-mail yesterday from AMEx that they dropped the rate on my account by 10 basis points. Still attractive relative to comparable alternatives.

The Vanguard Money Market Fund is yielding 1.05 percent. Even if you can get an extra 0.5 percent more than that, you would only get an extra $42 per month on $100K. And, then you have to pay income tax on it. Doesn't seem worth moving money around unless there is a substantial gain. Do the math first.
