Lock your Money away in High Yield CDs

With investor sentiment hitting new lows, its time to review the nationwide high yield cd offers, even if they are low.  Instead of watching your portfolio sway back and forth with the 100+ point swings in the Dow Jones, locking your money away for 12 months doesn't sound that bad.

The best national offers this week come from Ally and Aurora Bank.

WHY CDs?
Certificates of Deposits (CDs) are protected by FDIC insurance, thus no matter how bad things get, your money is backed by Uncle Sam, guaranteed.  If you are concerned about missing better yields, consider creating a CD ladder. With a CD laddert you can take advantage of possibly higher rates, while your money grows in safety, just make sure the bank you select has that option.
