Rates of return off of a CD investment are not very noteworthy currently. CD rates of return remain low and have been hovering at below average levels for some time. The drop for CD rates began several years ago in the latter months of 2007 and have been stagnating now for years. CD’s have been struggling across that nation and averages are unimpressive. According to data accumulated via bankrate.com this past month, one-year certificates of deposits were yielding an average of .48 percent. Rate trend lines have been dropping over the past several years and this most recent weekly average via bankrate is further verification. Rates have gotten even heavier recently and the extra weight has pulled them further under. Last year at this same time, the average rate of return for one year certificate of deposit, on average, was .75 percent. In one year the rate of returns have dropped significantly. The same is true for the average rate of return for a six month certificate of deposit. Current average rates come in at .3 percent according to last months data accumulated via bankrate.com. Just one year prior however, the average rate of return on the six month CD deposit was higher at .46 percent. These statistics give pause for caution and push hopefully pushes Americans to do the extra homework in order to maximize returns. CD rates remain low across America. Ultimately, whatever one uncovers, short term investments with CD’s appears to be appropriate practice in the current environment until rates of return bump higher once again. Author: Camillo Zucari

Stock market investing tips are good for any season. But now that spring has sprung, and with the warmer weather — and looming tax deadline — it good investment advice to take some time and roll up your sleeves sooner rather than later. Any investing tips that advocate you throw out your entire portfolio aren’t wise, and aren’t practical. Spring cleaning doesn't necessarily mean cleaning house. However, it is a good idea for every investor to at least take that nest egg down from the shelf and give it a good once-over with a dust rag. The stock market is a crazy place and even buy-and-hold investors need to assess their holdings regularly to ensure they are protecting their money and maximizing their returns. So allow me to suggest 7 simple spring cleaning tips to spruce up your portfolio in 2011: 1. Buy Apple I recently attempted to research an article proving why Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) is a bad investment. I never wrote that article, because frankly there is zero logical basis for such a story. Consider this: When you look at the 16 analyst ratings on the stock since Jan. 1 you find an average price target of $429 and a median price target of $420. That's 16%-18% upside from current pricing, with every single target projecting gains and every single firm rating Apple as a buy or better. No wonder 71% of ownership in Apple is institutional – because if you want to beat the broader market, AAPL stock is darn close to a lock. You should follow the "smart money" on this one, and beat the market with Apple. 2. Check your ETF & fund fees Though easily overlooked, the fees or expense ratio of your mutual funds and ETFs can really eat into your profits over the long haul. Consider this case study: Investor A puts $1,000 a year in a fund with a 1% expense ratio, which returns 10% annually. Investor B puts $1,000 each year in a fund with 0.5% expenses, which also returns 10% annually. At the end of 20 years, Investor A has about $51,100 and Investor B has about $54,100 after adding compound interest and subtracting fees. That's $3,000 or about 5% total difference just based on a lower fee! If you have the ability to get a similar flavor and performance in a lower-fee fund, you should take it. It will save you money over the long haul.

Unless you never watch TV, never listen to the news on the radio, and never look at magazine covers, you know who Charlie Sheen is. Star of the extremely popular TV show Two and a Half Men , earning around 1.8 million dollars an episode, he has been in the news daily during the last couple weeks due to the disagreement between him and the show’s producers regarding the cancellation of the show. Sheen’s outspoken comments have made headlines, and he has been the guest on several talk shows. So it is only fitting that we look at the companies that have a connection to Charlie Sheen to see how their stocks have performed. Stockerblog.com was the original developer and creator of numerous celebrity stock indexes, including the Paris Hilton Stock Index , the Gisele Bunchen Stock Index , the Heidi Klum Stock Index , and the Angelina Jolie Stock Index . Now it is time for the Charlie Sheen Stock Index, details of which can be found at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com . Based on the companies that have some connection to Sheen, the Sheen Index has outperformed the Dow Jones Industrial Average, since the beginning of this year, the beginning of last year, the beginning of 2009, and the beginning of 2008. As a matter of fact, since the February 24 radio broadcast of the Charlie Sheen interview hosted by Alex Jones, the Charlie Sheen Stock Index rose 2.0% versus only 0.8% for the Dow. Two and a Half Men , which I consider the funniest show on television, has ranked in the top 20 television shows since 2003, and last year garnered almost 15 million viewers. The show is broadcast on CBS (CBS) and is rerun on the CW Network which is 50% owned by CBS, along with Warner Bros., a division of Time Warner (TWX). CBS trades at 23 times current earnings and 12.5 times forward earnings, and pays a small dividend of 0.9%. If you are looking for high income, you could consider the CBS Corporation New Senior Note (CPV), which yields a generous 6.6%, payable quarterly. Earnings for the latest quarter were up an amazing 381.3% (could a lot of that be due to Two and a Half ?) over the same quarter last year. The show is filmed at Warner Bros. Studios and Warner Bros. Television is one of the production companies. Time Warner has a price to earnings ratio of 16.6 and forward PE of 12. It generates a decent yield of 2.5%. Earnings for the latest quarter were up 21.9%. Charlie Sheen did an outstanding job of portraying Bud Fox in the classic stock market movie Wall Street , and along with Michael Douglas, made the movie a blockbuster hit which is still popular today. Sheen even appeared in the sequel Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps . Both movies were produced by 20th Century Fox, a subsidiary of News Corporation (NWS) (NWSA). News Corp. has a PE of 14.7, a forward PE of 13.5, and yields 0.9%. In terms of celebrity endorsements, Sheen appeared in commercials and print ads for the Comfortsoft line of Hanes undershirts for Hanesbrands Inc. (HBI). Although the ads were dropped last year, Hanes may still benefit from them (an alternative to bowling shirts). Hanesbrands trades at 11.8 times current earnings, and has a forward PE of 8.6. Sheen is now sending out tweets on Twitter, thanks to the help of Ad.ly. Unfortunately, Twitter and Ad.ly are not currently publicly traded companies. However, Charlie and one of his girlfriends, Rachel Oberlin, have promoted Naked Juice, a product owned by Pepsico (PEP) on Twitter. Pepsico has a PE of 16 and yields 3.0%. In regard to performance of the Charlie Sheen Stock Index, it is up 6.2% so far this year versus 4.3% for the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Since the beginning of 2010, the Sheen Index was up 21.1% versus 15.0% for the Dow, and from the beginning of 2009, Sheen was up an incredible 65.0% versus only 34.7% for the Dow. To see a free list of all the stocks in the Charlie Sheen Stock Index , along with financials and the connection to Sheen, go to WallStreetNewsNetwork.com.

This was an up and down week for gold and silver prices just as it was a roller coaster rise for the major stock index composites. Political unrest in the Middle East seemed to play in and out of fashion as it continues to influence precious metal market trends. The week started off with gold and silver interest pushing higher. The dollar fell lower and April contract gold ended the session higher by .04 percent at $1,409.90 an ounce. March contract silver ended the Monday higher by 2.75 percent with a floor price of $33.80 an ounce. Metals held gains on Tuesday. Surging food and oil prices continued to place downward pressure on stock index composite trending and this, paired with the dollar's loss in strength on the day, helped precious metal gold and silver prices post higher for Tuesday’s close. April contract gold was higher by .40 at $1,431.60 an ounce. March contract Silver was higher by .19 at $34.61 an ounce. On Wednesday, Gold and Silver continued positive trending. Bernanke relayed in comments today that the Republican agenda to cut over $60 billion in federal spending would slow the economic recovery process across our nation and decrease job growth. He specifically said that the spending cuts would reduce economic growth by as much as two tenths of a percentage point. Indices were struggling at mid-day and the dollar had fallen lower to a handful of other currencies. This helped gold and silver maintain interest Wednesday. Precious metals dropped across the board on Thursday into the red for the first time all week. The dollar grew stronger this day and stocks pushed higher. Investor anxieties over the Middle East seemed to lighten and safe haven assets suffered. Precious metals rebounded however on Friday and Gold and Silver ended the week green. Floor price for April gold ended higher by 12.20 at $1,428.60 an ounce. May contract silver ended the session higher by 1.00 at $35.33 an ounce. Author: Camillo Zucari

With that promotion came Christina’s newest role: to head up dbd’s most recent venture, david beahm destinations, a hand-picked collection of exotic and luxurious wedding destination locations. (If you’re thinking to yourself, Now there’s a job with perks, you would be 100% correct.)
When it comes to offering advice to brides and grooms, it’s the designers and planners and coordinators themselves who we hear from most. More often than not, the advice comes from those select few who have their names etched on the door. This groom, for one, thought it was time that we hear from someone who is “behind the scenes” but still remembers every client by name and has overseen (in one capacity or another) every single event that has been executed at the hands of david beahm design.
We pestered Christina continuously, begging her to share her unique perspective with the world. Ultimately she bartered a minute of her wisdom for an hour-long reflexology massage. Done and done.
