Pros and Cons of CDs
The pros of moving your money into a high-yield certificate of deposit (CD) rather than another type of investment option like -- stocks, money-market accounts, 401ks, or saving accounts are the following:
- Your money is in a secure investment product that earns higher interest than it would get in a savings or money market account. While there are riskier ways to earn more interest, CDs are FDIC insured.
- The FDIC (Federal Insurance Deposit Corporation) insures a bank account holder up to $100,000 which includes the money you invest in CDs.
The cons of CD investing would be:
- Typically the lower the risk, the lower the interest.
- Certificate of deposits are influenced by economic conditions. CDs with a fix rate however are fixed within the maturity date, but when you want to reinvest the rate maybe lower or higher. Shopping different banks can help solve this problems.
- There is a penalty charged for early withdrawal. Early withdrawal is determined by the maturity date.

Good hub. I think CD's are a great choice for a lot of people.
Great list of pros/cons. My CDs have been a godsend for me and I'm going to continue to invest in them.
I have been investing in CDs. This year, I made $3137 in interest. The limit to get earned income credit is $3100. Basically, that extra 37$ lowered my tax return by nearly $1500. Any way around this?
