ICICI Bank Canada I noticed is offering 4.5%, also they have a referral bonus of $20, Max $500. Give me a shout if you want to open an account with this bank. :) http://www.icicibank.ca/ Wow, thats a lot of cash holdings. I guess you do need liquidity for your goals.

That's not what I meant, I have no idea what FB looks like. :) In his "about" page, it says that he is married with kids. I guess I expected married with kids to mean older than me. :) LOL!

It helps when you don't live in Vancouver or Toronto doesn't it?! We are probably in a similar situation though I've never actually run the numbers. Maybe I'll go do that! lol, he does look more mature doesn’t he? ;)

So now, I'm building a new portfolio, 100% CDN market for now, looking to buy more US stocks as they are not overheating as we are. I don't know much about foreign market, not enough to invest in them yet though... Cheers, FB. FT,

Most people would think of it but will be tempted to stay in the market another couple of months just to make that "potential extra". Do you spread your equity among different markets or are you concentrated in CDN? Cheers, FB.
