Tuesday (12/30) News and Notes

Category: News and Notes- gotalkmoney.com- 9:15 am/ December 30, 2008

A lot of banks dropped their rates this week.  It’s hard to even find a rate over 4% today.  The only rates you’ll find above 4% are on the 5 year CD chart.

As for the new additions this week, I added UFBDirect.com and Heritage Bank.  UFBDirect is offering a 2.25% 3 month CD and Heritage is offering  a 2.30% APY 3 month CD.  It’s nothing special but they fall into the top 10.

If you’re still looking for that 5 star bank, Capital One and Discover are still the only banks with a 5 star rating but their rates have dropped over the week.

According to last week’s poll, 237 people said this –

46% say invest in a 3 month - 1 year CD

8% say invest in a 2 year

7% say invest a 3 year

10% say money market

27% have no clue what they want to invest in.

If you want to participate in the poll, visit the homepage and even if you don’t know what you want to vote in, help others out by simply clicking on “I’m not sure”.

Also, I just want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!  Let’s hope 2009 is better than 2008!
