@Crash- Since you mention a 4% divvy and I believe that you like income, you might be interested in knowing that I just picked up a couple of non-callable 3.7% FDIC CDs at Schwab, one for 1 year and 1 for two years.
One was Wells Fargo and the othe…
I really appreciate you guys reading or even just skimming this stuff. I know it's long and sometimes repetitive, but it's very important to have an understanding of reality. Unlike another poster that we're unfortunately familiar with.
