Their saving account has a relatively high interest rate from what I remember. It's like Citibank's E-savings account.

I've got one. Worth it. Lots of setup bullshit though.

What differentiates Etrade savings accounts from ING or Citibank?

market's doing horrible, doesn't look too good in the future, buy mutual funds, get a broker

its 5.05%. I just opened up one with them today. I also have a checking account with them that got me 4%, but now its only 3.6% which is weak.

^so that rate is variable or is it locked in if you get it at a certain time. I'm not very financially savvy...I just know to save money and pay shit on time.

Capital Bank over at cameron village has a checking account with 5% interest. It's also potentially variable, but it's been steady now for as long as I can remember.

1/7/2008 7:28:24 PM

when the markets are down... the price of gold tends to increase (as it has over the past year). It makes sense.
