When optionable68 posted yesterday it was still showing .70% but now it has indeed been increased to .80%. I'm glad I held off questioning his post, instead I assumed he knew something that I didn't know.

Re: Where to park money short-term?
Looks like the other firms offering HISAs may be coming around to be competitive.
DYN500 just raised rates to 0.75%
But still not as good as Renaissance ATL5000 which was raised to 0.80% as per optionable68's notice above.

Re: Where to park money short-term?
For a good return over 4.5 months, do you think PIC.PR.A would be a good safe place to invest? See details in this post:

Re: Where to park money short-term?
If you were "parking" money that you planned to spend on a down-payment for a house, is there any logic in putting it in XRE. Would XRE fluctauate with real-estate prices and in the meantime provide a yield that is much better than any GIC or HISA?
Often wrong, never in doubt.

Re: Where to park money short-term?
I would say the short answer is that the correlation is far too weak to make that anything other than a considerably risky strategy. This thread might be worth a look:drejmd wrote:If you were "parking" money that you planned to spend on a down-payment for a house, is there any logic in putting it in XRE.

Thanks, good thread. Personally I am going to go with Adrian and Altared on this one. (ie. REITS donot equal HOUSES)Lazy Ninja wrote:I would say the short answer is that the correlation is far too weak to make that anything other than a considerably risky strategy.

Peoples Trust is offering 2.1% interest on its savings account. I find it a little more laborious than the usual bank accounts, but I feel well compensated for my time.
Re: Dividend stock strategies
Why wouldn't you at least keep your cash in a HIS? You can transfer to your chequing account whenever you need to. At least you would earn 1-2% which is better than nothing?

Re: Dividend stock strategies
I usually pay bills twice a month so I shift enough money from the HISA each time with enough extra for weekly cash withdrawals.

Re: Dividend stock strategies
What do you use cash for on a weekly basis? I think I have the same $100 in my wallet I had a couple months ago. Are you one of those people holding me up in the grocery checkout taking pennies out of change purse?Shakespeare wrote:for weekly cash withdrawals

Re: Dividend stock strategies
I eat out daily for lunch and pay cash. I know it's more expensive but, living alone, it's a way to get out of the house.

Re: Dividend stock strategies
We have no HISA and minimal cash in chequing accounts. In our unregistered accounts, dividends are not usually reinvested. We do a monthly transfer to our chequing account to cover expenses. We also have about $50k in a monthly income fund (in unregistered a/c) which we use more or less same as some use HISA. It is more tax efficient than an HISA although susceptible to ups and downs of markets. We have enough other cash flow, so seldom sell units.AltaRed wrote:The latter point I agree with completely. But I never keep more cash than I need in my chequing account in any given month, even though my chequing account also pays minimal interest. I simply move cash from my HISA at the end, or beginning, of each month to my chequing account.

If I used my RBC direct investing to invest in other banks investment savings accounts (such as dyn500) would the 100k cdic fall under RBC or Dundee?

Re: Where to park money short-term?
You can't use RBCDI for anything other than RBC HISAs like RBF 2010, 2020, 2030, and 2040. Each would be considered separately for CDIC limits.

Re: Where to park money short-term?
Just to clarify, fund-based Canadian dollar investment savings accounts are CDIC insured, however those from the same corporate entity would be combined for insurance purposes.

The finiki says: Several issuers offer similar funds from different corporate entities so that each fund has separate CDIC insurance.

I wonder if we should add to the finiki to make this clear. I had always wondered about this.

Except if RBCDI itself goes belly-up then there is no CDIC insurance.You can't use RBCDI for anything other than RBC HISAs like RBF 2010, 2020, 2030, and 2040. Each would be considered separately for CDIC limits.
