RECONSIDERING FLOOD INSURANCE After hurricanes smack coastal cities and towns, shocked residents and businesspeople often call their insurance companies right away. Many find out—too late to do anything about it— that their losses aren’t covered by insurance. Nature can be cruel, and disasters occur with alarming frequency. Floods are more confined and predictable than other disasters, but their scale is sometimes so huge that private insurers have been scared away. That’s why Congress created the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)...

CDs are a very safe investment because they are usually insured by the U.S. government. (There are some CDs that are not insured so it is important to always check!) Because they are so safe, CDs earn low rates of interest. The amount earned on an investment is often called the return. In general, investments with higher risk also have the potential for higher rates of return. For example, if you invest in a stock, which is like buying a...
