Stay with the True and Tried Regardless How Trying!
My wife recently went looking on the web for a good rate of return for a GIC in our TFSAs, and the best she could get was one for 18 mos. at 1.85% with some obscure credit union in another town. If you follow the CBC’s advice, you might find your way to a deposit broker who claims he or she can offer you a better rate than the charter banks. Beware! The chances of such a small lending institution surviving another economic downturn are comparable to me recovering my lost youth. I am staying with the big bank as the true and tried even though it offers crap returns. Through all this, I am still amused at how these investment advisers try to entice us into buying mutuals with so much volatility still in the markets. What do they want us to do: lose our shirts so they can earn their commissions on questionable investments?
