A safe investment

By Collin Fox

Based in Wyomissing, Pa More than $90 BILLION in assets 750 retail banking offices Employs 12,000 people Survived the horrors of the recession

unlike some giants we know Looking at you Lehman Bros.

Local bank

According to http://www.sovereignbank.com/ , the rate of C.D.s one year ago from today was 2. 07% AYP That means that for every $1000 I let sit for

one year, I get $20.70 Before taxes

Not the biggest increase, but worth it in the long run when the economy turns around.

Right now the economy is turning around. Slowly but surely

Yes my investment might not grow very much THIS year, but the coming years look bright for our economy.

Due to this, C.D. rates will be increasing and as long as I keep turning over my C.D. I am guaranteed to make money As long as I keep the bank amount under the

upper limit of FDIC insurance.
