| Canada Savings Bonds
Hey guys,
I see that payroll is offering Canada Savings Bonds through the company. I did some reading online about them but would like to know if anybody has invested in them before. Are they worth investing in?
TIA

CSB will always be lower then the banks saving accounts.
Only thing CSBs that are better then banks are that it's the govie, you always get paid out. Unless the impossible happens, and Canada no longer becomes canada.

my last CSB was 7% I and I think was cashed last year. (probabaly bought 11 years ago). so I was making 7% last year when banks were 4%.
it was only like $300 though.
I can't image they would be any good right now.

Though neither are likely. In fact, both of which are nearly impossible.
