My 85-YO Father is desperately struggling now due to the horrible interest rates being offered on secure FDIC insured CD accounts. Are you going to tell an 85-YO man he needs to risk his entire life-savings via the highly volatile bond/stock markets? I don't think so...At least not my Father...My Father won't even consider a fixed income annuity & advised me he'd be happy if he could at least lock in a 5-Year CD @ 4.00%, but there's just no such FDIC insured institution offering such a rate. The best I've seen thus far is 3.63% @ DiscoverBank.Com, but even that's for 10- vs. 5-Years. It would be ludicrous to lock his life savings in for that long, at such a dismal rate.
