Image source: The Motley Fool/Upsplash It's been a good year to have money in a savings account or a CD. The Federal Reserve's benchmark interest rate has been at recent peak levels of 5.25%-5.50% since August of last year, which means savers have had a great opportunity to earn more interest on their money in the bank. The Fed started signaling in 2023 that it was looking to start cutting interest rates after raising them in an effort to slow the pace of inflation.

The chipmaker had fallen behind after years of operating a money-losing foundry business, while fabless rivals, like Advanced Micro Devices , have gained market share. Intel has long dominated the PC processor business, but a cultural aversion to risk-taking prevented the company from extending that leading position into other areas.
