Quote from: "the shark hunter"... an ad for an internet bank caught my attention the other day ...



... the bank was advertising how it'll pay 2.5% interest on money you deposit there.  i don't know the details but i'm assuming you have to invest your cash into a GIC or term deposit to get this rate ...



... now i'm no financial expert, but it seems to me that this is an UNBELIEVABLY ATTRACTIVE RATE for a fixed income investment these days ...



... am i right about this?  is 2.5% something to get excited about?



... comments?
