Yes, tell me more about high-yield savings accounts.

High-yield savings accounts typically offer higher interest rates than traditional savings accounts. They are a safe way to grow your savings while maintaining liquidity. However, they may require a higher minimum balance. Would you like to compare it with CDs?

Yes, what are the risks associated with these investment options?
