They just rejected my app too. Good thing, I guess. 4% wouldn't be worth it.  |

4% beats a lot of what's out there.

I can remember a few years back when 2.50% looked very good compared to below 1% we were getting even at Vanguard.
I've always thought that anything over 5% is a decent interest rate.

Futures markets price in another rate cut this week after central bank chief Ben Bernanke tells lawmakers the health of the economy is his first priority.

I kind of liked the song. Personally, I think the Fed should stand pat on rate cuts for a bit. Inflation is starting to become a worry.

I think that they should stand pat too. I think that it actually puts more fear into the people with the way they are doing this. Personally, I feel alot of concern about our economy. But they say we have stagflation so I don't know how they work with that. The economy isn't growing and yet you're having inflation.

The Fed needs to wake up and stop cutting these rates. |

I so totally agree with you. They need to put the breaks on this stuff. Eventually, the mattress might be safer than the banks with all of the talks about possible future bank failures. Who is going to want to invest in banks and then hope your bank is OK and you'll be able to get your money out in a timely fashion.
I think that when they lower the rates like this, that the interest should not be taxed. What do you think.
