All About Saving

You can save money and stay ahead of inflation - but which is better, a nine month CD at 8.75% or a thirty year Treasury Bond at 9 1/4? Gerald Krefetz sorts through the confusion of linked accounts, yields, rates, terms, penalties, and procedures so that the average consumer can find the account that offers the best combination of yield and liquidity for his or her needs and income. How to Save surveys the entire range of financial instruments that can be used for safe, steady capital appreciation, from simple passbook savings to CDs, government bond and collateralized mortgage obligations, and tax-free accounts. The book is written in a simple non-technical style that anyone can understand.
