Just go to the TD Ameritrade web site, open an account, and fund it with at least $10,000 and you get a free iPod Nano. So, I checked the apple site, and found that the particular nano that they are offering retails for $150.
I'm thinking about doing it, and just dumping the $10,000 in a 9 month CD, currently yielding 5.05%. I figure the $150 over nine months is a 2% annualized return. 5.05% on $10,000 over nine months yields $378.75, pluse the value of the iPod yields a return of $528.75. That's an annualized yield of 7.05%, risk free.
I'm not endorsing TD Ameritrade. I have never used their services, so can't speak to the quality of their products or services.
Im Kyle McGee, student at the University of Texas at Austin. When I was 10 years old my buddy and I decided it would be a good idea to go door to door telling our neighbors we needed money for Cub Scout uniforms. The truth of the matter was we needed wood for our clubhouse, but we knew no one would give us money for that. So clubhouse… Cub Scouts… they kind of sound a like right? Ha... Anyways, everything was great I had $500 in checks when I came home. Until, I asked my mom to cash them and then I had to return every single one of them. Now it’s been years since, but the other day when I was back in town, I ran into one of the old neighbors. Of course, he retold me the story I just told you, but before he went on his way he said, “Kyle, I would have given you the money if you had just told me the truth.”
There are millions of sites like mine. All have different marketing ploys to get you to buy their products and then you’re on your own. With me, I’ll shoot you straight and if you really want to make money I also encourage you to do the same. Below, you will find two links that can make you a considerable amount of money. Take my advice by choosing one of them and no matter which you choose BE HONEST!!!! SHOOT STRAIGHT!!!! AND LET THE MONEY RAIN!!!!!!!

I like your idea about figuring out the return on the iPod. However as I'm an existing client of TD Ameritrade, I guess I'm out of luck. I like the service they they've offered me over the past almost 10 years.
Now get that iPod!
