 GVauthor:What is the risk of putting money in a bank or credit union's CD that pays a substanially higher rate of interest than other banks-- I am seeing rates as high as 6%. Why is that?3

 GaryDBR:Is there anybody out there pondering the purchase of Citigroup. Now that the prince is buying another 5%, is this a value. Gary3

WG86:Wow, DJIA below 8000. What can one say. I bought some Magellan on Monday. It is down over 50% for the year. I have a large cash position so I feel somewhat ok. WG862

Brad43451:In September I posted a rec on this site asking about investing at least $500,000. I have 90% of my money in CD's, $100,000 per bank total $1,000,000. So I want to invest half maybe in January. Part may go into real estate, some international, but I am looking for a good domestic fund to hold for another 30+ years. Not too risky and with growth in mind. I've gotten some good tips here before. So I am back for ideas. Regards, Brad6

 grandslam:An almost Oops! Was going to buy some munis today. Now Paulson announces he is completely changing the terms of the "bailout package" Wait, was this not to help homeowners? Now they get nothing? Bailing out credit card companies??!!! Oh, and what about the car companies that have to do no more than just ask big daddy when it needs money. Forget improvements to its infrastructure that may mean doing some work!5

FIDELITY MAGELLAN

Rating:

DATE: 11/18/2008

Down almost 55% ytd. Almost 10 points behind in its large growth category. Nobody could have predicted the problems this fund is facing. First the fund buys financials earlier this year and AIG and Wachovia are among the mortally wounded. Worse than that, Harry Lange's pick of of tech and telecom and add to that some foreign stocks (sigh). Hopefully, Lange's great record will save the day for shareholders but an uphill battle, it is. ...

BARON GROWTH

Rating:

DATE: 11/17/2008

It is a tough time for small growth and tougher for small growth service companies. With little or no tech this fund has a funky slant. Nevertheless, it is doing almost 4 points better than its "small growth" category peers. Why?
Because Ron Baron and he expert team run the fund. ...

ISHARES TR DOW JONES US MEDICAL DEVICES

Rating:

DATE: 11/17/2008

Ah, medical devices, always looks good in a bad market. Ishares tr dow jones u s medical devices (ihi), however, looks good for any market.

There is steady demand in the industry and the etf does a good job. Much cheaper than a mutual fund and it has not made any distributions, to date. It is the only ...

CONSTELLATION ENERGY GROUP

Rating:

DATE: 11/16/2008

The financial sector has hit nuclear energy which relies on the capital markets. In some ways this ETF is a little different from other regulated utilities. It is highly leverage and is one of the largest risk-management and trading shops around. It is an energy trading firm. The company had huge growth, when during the California energy crisis, competitors left the merchant energy business and Constellation scooped up huge market share. This is expected to slow, so I my initial intent to b ...
