High-yield checking?


Is it worth the effort to have a high yield cking at an investment bank? and what are the pitfalls and advantages of having one?

Forget banks. You should do what I did and give all your money to some Nigerian guy who needs it to become a prince!

The white man keeps your money

High yield checkings are great if you have a lot of money to put in them. Some banks have caps though of how much you can keep in there (they don't want them being used as a savings account). I would look at the fine print before opening it.

Pitfalls; maintence fees and balance requirements. If checking account is considered an investment then it is not FDIC insured, and no bank will guarantee that the account will retian its value.
Advantages:If you are able to invest without risking too much in the way of your future financial security or paying your current credit accounts go for it. I see high interest accts for like 2-500k and they are earning about 2-4k a month in interest. As long as your not someone in serious debt trying to invest it would def be an advantage to you.... also make sure your ready to pay taxes next year if you earn a lot lol :)
