No, unless you want to waste money. In CDs the interest won’t even beat inflation and your principal will never grow (unlike stocks where you get dividends and growth, with CDs you get poor interest and no growth).

History repeats itself
I can see it all again and it is amazing and satisfying at the same time. Although, I should feel sorry or sympathy but I do not. Call me cynical or rude, but I actually feel satisfaction. What am I talking about? All the fools who last few weeks were boasting about their great success Continue reading →
In what type of market environment should you be buying dividend stocks?
This depends on your plan and goal. If you plan on building a portfolio over long haul which will one day generate nice income you can use to pay your bills and live off of your investments, then you should invest in any and all market environments.

So, I was wrong. Yesterday, I posted my expectation of a measured move. And it failed. Twice the futures tried to set up a pullback, twice that attempt failed and markets finished red. After exceptional, and never seen before, 3% drop in a row, a 1% selloff now seems like a lukewarm tea for babies. Continue reading →
What’s next in the stock market after this big rout?
The selloff we just experienced exceeded all my expectations. I do not remember when I saw the market drop more than 3% in two consecutive days. It was amazing! Well, of course, if you forget, that it was your money on the table in this rout. It is also a never seen move action when Continue reading →
