On the contrary. The CD is paying between one and two percent, but in "normal" times that's not even going to keep up with inflation. Grams (which TGC's paying 7.2% on) don't inflate. While the share-price may or may-not be enough of a risk-premium for TGC shares to be a good buy vs a CD; CDs aren't exactly "risk-free" either.
