RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Little inteest in bying A sharesChecking my online TD GIC rate chart, there is 4.1% for just 90 days. And, I know that if you go into the bank you could probably get that up to 4.25% at least. Rates are not going down anytime soon so there is a double benefit to being more liquid and resetting the rate higher. Still not my go-to investment vehicle but just saying.

Understand every one has different risk levels. For my lower risk investments I have gone with preferred shares that pay 8%, are tax advantaged over GICs, reset as rates go up and is fully liquid in minutes if I choose to sell.

I got a 3 yr 5% about 60 days ago.
Looks like they are expecting not too much rise going forward.

Will they make it run ahead of earnings and to where or should I say how high ?
The mm's told them to jump and they asked HOW HIGH ?
I tried getting a quote for the Bonds dec 2024 or March 2025.
not able to get any quotes.
I might just take some of those profits and park it into a 1 year GIC at 5%

On the day RS was implemented, A shares were selling for $35 and B shares for $27. This being said, for the last 3 or 4 months the delta is 60 cents or less which translate to only 2 cents pre-RS between A and B shares.
This is a very strong signal that there is very little interest in buying A shares over B shares.
Anyone cares to offer an opinion as to why the interest level in owning A shares over B shares has dropped drastically over the last 6 months.
this means there is a partnership coming and the extra voting rights will mean nothing and get no premiuim .. something along the lines of BRP ... just a guess ... the skies are blue , more than ever ... GLTA
I am in the process of changing banks for an Rrsp account and I have to sell the mutual fund in order to transfer the account , I was taking a very close look at the 5% offer for the term deposit , I am trying to negotiate it for a 3 year term but they only allow 1 year for now ... been many years since I parked some money at that rate ... the market is getting expensive again , except for the bomber of course ;) ...
