Personally I wouldn’t tie my money up for 3 years to earn little more than I can earn in an online savings account that’s very liquid. I use venturebankdirect.com and earn 3.8% APY with no minium balance and can transfer funds to my linked accounts without penalty.

If rates are going down this offer might be a good deal for depositors. The $10,000 minimum makes this CD a very difficult one to implement in one’s CD ladder.

i have lost my whole life saving of retirement.
The whole US govt is corrupt. Rich are gettting richer and poor are
getting poor. President Bush should take some action. But what does
he care. He is leaving… You think, Obama or Mccain is going to come
and play a Magic wand to improve the economy. It will take good
5 years to come back to normal. No place seems to be safe anymore.
Good Luck to US.

I say take some of your money and take a vacation while you can instead of giving it all to some greedy corrupt banker to play with. The economy is going to get allot worse then better so I would take advantage while you have a little money and sanity left.

IMHO: Is anyone outraged over the 700 billion tax payers bail out package for Wall Street as I am? What has been our reward? The banks are still not lending and Wall Street has repaid us by driving our 401ks down another 40+% with no end to the downward market manipulation in sight.

So take a vacation why you still can, Hell will still be here when you get home!

PS- If you enjoy losing money in the banks or stock market consider Las Vegas, at least there are pretty women around, free liquor while you lose money, and great shows.

Honestly, if I had lots of liquid money, right now (looking at all my CD options) I’d go with Discover Bank’s 5 yr earning 5.21%. The 7 year is higher rate (5.5%) but I think this mess will be cleared up in 5 years. So it seems like a long time (5 years) but it’s with a sound institution and the minimum investment level ($2500) is low. Basically, best overall CD on the market as of today. IMHO

The Great Market Crash of 2008/09

The world markets are crashing at the hands of economic terrorists. This looks like the work of Bin Laden and would be one of his most sophisticated and devastating terrorist attacks ever. He probably has a whole network all around the world who are using electronic programs to short the markets in a systematic way to keep driving the markets down. Some days the systems are not used to allow the markets to have a bear rally recovery only to keep suspicions down.

When the Dow dips below 1000 in 2009 – Armageddon.! The world will go into total chaos. People will starve to death or die of diseases by the millions. Civil, Revolutionary, and World wars will be the norm. Earth will truly be Hell.

The short sellers will destroy all the economies of the world and drive us back to the stone age.

5% isn’t too shabby and you now have FDIC insurance up to $250k. Just to be sure, make sure with you ask National City if the CD is FDIC insured, never hurts to be overly cautious today.
Good feature story of B of A

Interesting that on the same day National City stated that it will layoff 4,000 employees over the next 3 years…
