Bank failures are expected to increase so much that the FDIC may not be able to insure all deposits


So where do you put your money?

We have a CD set to mature soon. I won't renew, even with the increase in interest rates- banks need more cash so will pay you more- but that means they are adding to their debt.

I really want to know of a safe place to invest cash!

Look for banks with a grade of B or better. Uh oh, my parents and grandparents bank at "c" banks. I've got our money markets and CDs spread between multiple spots to hedge risk.
