Why is investing better than a CD?


Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Looking at the typical CD rate in the USA its understandable why people feel they might want to put there money under there mattress than putting it in the bank, with the risks of banks going bankrupt eg IndyMac and ulta low deposit rates at 2%. 

I guess lets think about how much 2% actually is, on 1 million dollars of investment that is  $20,000.  Coincidentally If the inflation rate is at 2.5% in that particular year you are theoretically going backwards?

Is investing better than a CD?, that depends on many factors, find out for yourself by doing your own due dilligence.
