The 30-day cashable GICs is old news, I've been buying them for more than a year now as the yield on them is higher than what I can get on a T-Bill, based upon an after-brokerage commission yield. At least at BMO, the cost of CDIC insurance premiums seems to be less than the cost of their brokerage fees on GoC T-Bills. Just keep in mind that the maximum insurable amount at any one institution is $100K for those who have that much in cash. As far as the recent market correction and subsequent rebound, the high quality investments that I had on my watch list didn't really drop... So that's why I didn't do any buying.

It gives some insight into why it is so difficult to remain calm during a market slide like we have had in the last couple of weeks. Wow, that Money magazine article is very interesting.
