Maximise your returns with Money Market Instruments & Certificate of Deposits

Investing your hard earned money prudently is an art and it can be so intimidating that most people require help of professional advisers for making learned decisions. These professional advisers play a great role is guiding the potential investors.

With the help of the site bankaholic.com, you don’t need to hire any adviser to select funds earning prevailing highest rates of interest. The site helps the investors to select and in high yield instruments.

The site has launched two tools that help compare Money Market Rates and best CD rates as offered by most reputed and accessible banks in the region. The site, with the help of these tools and navigation, offers exhaustive details about rates and other facilities offered by each bank as FDIC insurance, Annual Percentage Yield (APY), duration of deposit etc. For the discerning visitors that may have appetite for more information, there are many useful blog posts too, that offer tons of information.

I have seen many such sites and I must say, the navigation of the site is commendably simple and easy to use. Use of tools requires no Java script plug in and instantly offers the comparison of APY, minimum deposit requirements and comments from other users to make learned decision. I am sure the site would command excellent repeat visitor rate.

A better review structure consisting of ratings on different aspects such as service standards, value for money and so on would be a big plus in providing exhaustive comparisons to users. Anonymous ratings although highly debatable do leave a scope for manipulation. Having the reviewer name & email would add a little more authenticity to the whole thing.

Secondly, if more details of the product can be given such as if a CD would automatically renew at the maturity, or if a given CD carries penalty for early withdrawal and thirdly Credit Rating done by a rating agency, if any, of the banker, would make the site a perfect one.

    I’m a housewife and looking for credit cards with rewards. My nephew recommended a credit web site, I’m afraid it’s unsafe. Is there anybody who knows about?

    Don't forget money market funds too

    I agree that www.bankaholic.com is a great site. Bankrate.com has more information, but it's very difficult to navigate. I'd suggest sticking with money market mutual funds, even over internet bank money market deposit and savings accounts. While a handful of banks are paying higher rates than the top money funds, banks' historically have underperformed money market funds. Most banks will temporarily offer high rates in order to draw investors in, then they will hope savers don't notice when they later fail to keep pace with market rates. Money funds follow the Fed, taking the rate decision away from someone who makes more money when paying a lower rate.
    Check out our site at http://www.cranedata.us, where we show the top 5 money funds and top 5 bank savings. (No CDs though, we don't consider these "cash" because they're not liquid.)
