Those Preferreds With Share Price Around $25 (redemption)I'm guessing futher Capital Gains pretty much CAPPED. So what's left is just the Dividend, plus RISK of share price drop.
3% GIC not looking Bad from CIBC.
But have to remember....
GIC is locked in, no access to funds until maturity. And after maturity don't know what the rate will be.
Preferreds are basically perpetual and rates reset for most every 5 years. Could reset at higher rate. Plus, need access to funds, can always sell any time.
All just my opinion/view/thinking/assessing
