This is why I think twice before adding on a new account now. They are teaser rates and can change at any time.

aleta I went to your last blog entry ---- and though is from a time in which I was not here , I did not understood what election took place , that you are saying thanks ------ hope you won

RedThunderBird: Ever so often Jeffrey will have contests. They can be based on i.e. WHAT SAVING HAS TAUGHT YOU. , i.e. WHAT DID YOU DO TO GET OUT OF DEBT. The different people would go on there and vote for the ones that they liked. Jeffrey tries to keep the blogs interesting. I won a book at that time which was very good. Thank you for asking.

Yes, those 5% days looks very good now.

[RedThunderBird]

well good for you ----

True, but in comparison to everyone else at the moment, it's probably more competitive than it's been in years.
