DB, two years was the math to break even not counting the initial $500 downpayment. Then a third year would show a 5% profit. In real life I can do a 3 year CD and get far better interest rates than that.

Sadly, no.  The current CD rate for 3 years tops out at a magical 1.35%/annum.  That means after 3 years (without a deposit or withdrawal fee), you would make 4.05% profit.  DB's current system is actually more profitable than real life banks.


Ain't that America...

I just checked. My bank is 1.65% on a 3-year or 2.15% on a 5-year. I was surprised at how low they were, but it's still higher than the rates you quoted. And in either case, the current system is just really bad. I'm also not going to invest my fake online money for 3+ years before I start seeing dividends. (Not to mention once again, the $500 initial cost.) That just sounds unfun.

I should take a pic.

Chase offering 1.75% interest on a TEN YEAR CD.

Ten Year Treasury Bonds are now 1.41%.

Thank you .84% savings account from Ally.

EDIT: Make that .89% as of tonight!  Score!
