ING, HSBC, Emigrant, or VirtualBank?

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

I currently have ING, and I am mroe than pleased with it. But the other three are currently offering higher rates. I hear some bad things about Emigrant, what I hear about HSBC is neutral, and I don’t know much about VB.

Has any one tried the others? What is your experience? ARe they all FDIC insured?

Thanks

A am recently retired and have a sizeable 401K account in a balanced fund (equities, bonds, short-term funds). Now that I have received benefit of tax savings in my working years am I better off to leave my money in the fund or move it to several FDIC insured IRA CD accounts to benefit from compounding interest?

U.S Bank Failure. Are you sure your money is safe?

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

28 Sept. 2007. Online bank shut down by the U.S. government. The bank’s dirty little secret was excessive level of mortgage defaults. The FDIC only insures up to $100,000. $109 million of Americans money was not insured and is lost. Hope your money is not in this bank. Who will be next to go? Are you sure your bank is safe or does it have dirty little secrets of it’s own.

Even if you think you money is safe “today”. Shouldn’t news like this send up a “red flag” that something is terribly wrong with the economy. Maybe this is just the beginning.

Heading towards another depression?

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

How close are we to another depression? Will the stock market crash like 1929? Will it be worse than the one 70+ years ago? Will FDIC help? 401Ks lost? When do you think it will happen and what will happen as a result? Can our economy get back on track?
