I have been advised to stay clear of the DOW due to my poor health. Because of this, I get next to nothing on what money I have. It sickens me.

This maladministration panders to the rich and/or those that can take the risk.

Sickening that a person cannot get more that 2.3% for a 5-year CD!

Sure the rates have been raised but WHERE IS THE DAMN RAISE?

Something is fishy don't you think? Afraid to raise rates to 5% where they belong it seems to me.
