Interest Rates...

I'm trying to plan my game for the coming year or two. When do you see CD interest rates moving higher and how high will they go ?

    Gold likes rising interest rates.

    With Credit card interest at 30%, I believe that

    the average worker is already suffering from

    interest overload.

    that statement could turn out to be very prophetic.

    I don't know if you're being serious or playing a joke on us.
    If you are serious why would you keep that much money in a savings account??? Surely there are better places for your money than "investing" in a depreciating assett that pays basically no interest.image

  • The Fed will begin a VERY slow increase in the prime rate next spring.

    It will be 2012 before CDs pay a reasonable (>4%) rate.

    I just got a 30 year fixed refi @ 4.625% with no money down. I like them being this low......but, now it's time for them to get going up so I can make some $$$.

    Red Herring

    Dont count on ANY raise in rates for at least 1-2 years. The FED is backed into a corner. They have made thier choice to sacrifice the Dollar. They would not sacrifice the fragile credit situation by raising rates - just look at all those nasty loan resets coming....raising rates would be a final nail in the coffin.

    You will be only able to buy only 6 or 9 months...due that the world ends in December 2012! image

    I've decided not to go to the movie 2012 cause I want to be surprised when the end finally get's here!!!image

    JP Morgan forecasted today no rate hikes until 2012

    you read it right

    2012

    good luck on that CD rate

    You think that is bad, one of my customers re-uped one of his cd's with 3 million and only got 1.75% . He showed me the slip!

    With customers like that, I am still wondering why the banks are failing and why the banks get bailouts.

    that pretty much sucks.....the guy with $3mm just got a shi&&y deal

    given that my daughter just renewed her $1,000 cd at 1.93%

    interest rates arent going anywhere fast. in fact, the are going nowhere.

    not with the fragile situation the FED is dealing with.....

  • It could be worse, at least your not losing a chunk every month to inflation, '09 has had a few bright spots.

    With the dollar in a downtrend since March, call it what it you like....deflation or inflation. Either way you're losing a chunk of your investment to "dollarflation" every month.

    I can't even begin to fathom why someone would stash $3 MILL in a CD at slightly >1% interest rates.

    I agree...with that kind of coin (bad pun, sorry) I would put it in yachts and fine cigars...at least I'd be enjoying it! Shucks, I'd even try a stab at buying (er, trying to get elected to) a government office. Canya say gov'mint pension?
