I've got a big clump of money in one private online broker, which makes me a little nervous. It just kind of happened for various reasons. I keep pondering whether I should move some to another broker just to be sure no catastrophe strikes. Should I? It sounds like I shouldn't be worried that one of the big mainstream brokers will suddenly go belly up.
I would have never used the words "CDs" and "bold" in the same sentence before, but I'm making a bold move into CDs. I've been buying them on 1-5 year time frames with the plan that inflation will go down and I'll end up with CDs that are beating inflation. I think it's a reasonable bet, and my goal is just to match or beat inflation at this point. I think rates are still going up, so I'm buying into them somewhat slowly right now. I'm not putting anywhere near $250k into any one CD, but they're mostly going through the one brokerage, so I hope that's not a risk.
