EQ Bank is now offering 5.50% on a one year GIC. That can be put into a TFSA so the income will be tax free. I recall in 1980-81 one could get 21%. Long ways away from that type of return but time will tell.

re #1:
hi Ron, the price of EQB stock has dropped $12.50 in the last 2 days. They reported at the close on Feb 28. I managed to get out before the biggest drop.
I am a fan of EQB.

EQb.to (if that’s the right symbol) still looks like a good overall rising stock that has pulled back to support. The Seasonal trend for March is the worst of the entire year.
