I want to throw a chunk of cash into CDs in one or two convienient walk in banks. Maybe a million or so. But I don't want to get totally ripped off just for the sake of safety, by accepting B of A type rates which are more than one percent below the best. On the othe hand, I don't want to take any more than about a one in a two thousand chance of losing my non insured money.
Does anyone think they know which, if any, banks in my neck of the woods ar within about a third of a percent of the top paying ones and are safe enough to ignore the FDIC? If so please tell me who they might be.

i agree.
fly to Australia and open an account there. OR, open a eurodollar account in australian dollars.
then hope the currency doesn't actually depreciate like it should in terms of interest rate diffs.

the real best thing to do with US dollars now though is to buy silver.
i own australian dollars too though, not a bad a move in general.

definitely agree that AUD is a good place to be.
why do you think silver would yield more in terms of opporutnity cost than AUD?
i don't see silver appreciating like other things right now given the direction of the US / global economy.
what are your thoughts?
thanks,
Barron
