CD safety with stock market fun
Leery of the stock market, but don't want to miss out on the ride? Check out these CDs, which are tied to a stock index. You play the market with your interest -- at no risk to your principal.

CDs are generally a safe investment, but callable CDs can give you a nasty bite if you're not careful.

Seedy CDs targeting seniors
Be careful, not all the high-yielding CDs are for real. Find out what the government discovered about elderly investors being tricked into buying 20-year CDs.
