WSJ Your Money Briefing · CDs and Cashlike Investments Shine Amid Stock Market Slump · 20 Mar 2023 podcast

Another option that doesn't get a lot of attention is certificates of deposit.

But now, demand for short-term CDs is at its highest level since the 2008 financial crisis.

If you can get 5% by holding a CD, why would you go into stocks?

We'll talk to Wall Street Journal markets reporter Hardika Singh about why these options are so attractive right now and what you need to know before you jump on the bandwagon.

That's after the break.

An investment that often doesn't get a lot of attention is certificates of deposit.

But now demand for short-term CDs is at its highest level since the 2008 financial crisis.

I'm Erin Delmore, and joining me is Wall Street Journal reporter Hardika Singh.

Hardika, thank you for being with us.

Thank you so much for having me.

Give us a bit of context here.

Why are individual investors looking for alternatives to investing in the stock market right now?

So what makes these investments like CDs, money market funds, high yield savings accounts and treasury bills so attractive right now?

Well, how is this different from what we've seen over the past decade?

Well, that's the track record that the stock market outperforms holding on to cash.

So are the investors you spoke to using this as a long-term investment strategy or as a short-term safe harbor?

So, Hartika, what else should someone who doesn't trade for a living know before they go ahead and take these same steps?

Hardika, you are our eyes and ears on the ground, or in this case, on the web, on TikTok and Discord.

Is this the hot tip of the moment?

It most certainly is.
