That’s the thing. These extraordinary low interest rates are forcing seniors into riskier investments (seeing as almost everything else is riskier than a CD).Are interest rates really "extraordinarily low"?
Do remember what CD's paid starting around 2009 thru to about 2017?

After inflation, short term rates are negative. Great for borrowers. Terrible for savers.
