RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Scam of the earth having a field dayDon't forget that dividends have a better tax treatment than interest income does. A 5.5% dividend yield is worth about as much as a 7.5% interest yield...exact comparison depends on your marginal tax rate of course. And GICs have to be locked in to get that rate. So the 5.5% GIC really doesn't appeal to me much.
