Advice for anyone reading this: G and I were chatting one day about investments and when comparing notes, I realized we had a hole in our investment strategy. We had a rainy day fund of cash that wasn't doing anything. It was there for when/if we needed it...the question then is when and how fast do you need it.
We started putting the rainy day fund into short term GIC's that come to term in 1 year increments and invested them in quarters, so that every 3 months something is coming due and we can either reinvest or take it out for the rainy day...
That conversation is not making huge amounts of money, but it is making money. Thank you @Giles as it was a brilliant conversation.
Sorry for my ignorance, but what is a GIC?
Thanks -
@Cymro taken from the internet:
A Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) is a secure, low-risk Canadian investment that guarantees both your initial principal and a set rate of interest over a specific term. It is a highly popular choice for parking money safely, as it is often protected by deposit insurance.

Anthropic has warned about the "risks of humans losing control over AI systems" and has called for a coordinated plan to slow down or temporarily halt AI development.
Sarah Connor has warned as all years ago…
God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere. Willie Nelson
