I like the cookie jar. I suppose it makes a place to park money, while moving it around.

Perhaps others can elucidate further.

Dependent on your age, this strategy may work. It did for me when I was younger.

The best way to save though is by lowering bills and working. We all know that one.

Right now, I am earning 0.15% interest on a CD.

Who would think that moving it to a 0.50% CD would be a stroke of financial genius?

With inflation, we are still losing money.

So, your one and 1/4 cent comment was not out of line!

Using the rule of 72 that $100 at 0% would double when?

= = =

When Hades, contrary to “Global Warming”, freezes over.

Put your money in that Handbasket to see it double.

I worked of a major utility designing rates. There is no slush fund. Investigate that!

Nada! I only see bizarre reporting entities making accusations. If utilities break the law there are hefty penalties. Stockholders do not like penalties. It effects the stock price.

Look up Cost of Service Study, Rate Design, Billing Determinants, Return on Equity you might learn something.

Obama is truly enjoying how quickly his plan is working.

What’s my motivation for either deal. =

When the NIRP is more than -3%

You buy 0 bonds to stay at 0.

You buy it because low rates means higher price on the bond.
