Certificates of Deposit
Investments can be scary. Did the CEO of your last stock purchase throw his wife a birthday party in Greece? Or did a major CPA firm help part of your portfolio cook the books? You can make a lot of money in the market, if you can do the homework and have the gumption to assume the risk. But even if you do the homework and have nerves of steel, you can still lose everything you invest. The market is complicated and always moving, sometimes up and sometimes down. Certificates of Deposit are a secure investment with flexible time commitments. You begin earning simple interest from the first business day of deposit. That interest may be drawn down before maturity without penalty. As with all banking deposits, The FDIC insures these funds. To see how much you could insure, see our web links.
