A Two-Year CD Is Not a Wise Investing Move Right Now

A listener emails the show and wants some advice, saying, “I’m watching my portfolio go down in value, and I’m wondering if now would be a good time to take my money out and put it in a two-year CD at 5% interest”. Paul and Ira jump in to explain why 5% may sound tempting, but a two-year CD is not a wise investing move right now. Listen along to hear these advisors explain why periodically checking in on your portfolio’s performance creates temptations for investors, and why getting out of the market is the same as selling low and locking in your losses. Later in the show, Paul shares some insight from a workshop he likes to teach called “Why Investors Fail.”
