I have a trust fund of 15,000$ for m16 yr child. i have to invest in cd's. should i go with 3, 6, or 1yr?


this money was from an insurance pymt. she was was injured at 6 yr. old. well ever since that time the rates continued to decline. so i have been doing the 6 month cert. i really dont know what i am doing. she expects this money at 18. i sure was wishing she could have made a little money after all these years.

If you are going to do a CD right now, I'd do a 3-month as their rates are higher than 6-months, as crazy as that sounds.

You can go to http://www.bankrate.com/brm/rate/deposit... and compare rates of CDs in your area.

Cd's are one of the worst things to do with money, they barely beat inflation...

I think you might want to look into mutual funds?

go with a year..rates will continue to drop this year so lock in the best you can.
You can also make $100 bonus by depositing $50 a month into an ameritrade acct for 1 year..more than the interest. It's the Suze Orman save yourself plan... see link below.

If you are planning on a CD, then I would suggest puting your money in the longest term possible to fit your needs. Generaly speaking, of course, longer term CD's offer higher annual interest rates which gives you more money.

Otherwise, I would highly reccomend investing in commodoties and stocks, but since your looking at 2 years(?) than this will not be a wise choice... these are for long term.
