<"there is no "right answer."> That's why I said you seemed on track to achieve your goals -- at least as I understand them from your posts over time... I have different goals and different methodology to achieve them, but that only makes it right for me, not necessarily for anyone else... the common element, but with different numbers, is that we both strive for reliable, rising income... and there's more than one way to skin that cat for sure... not to mention different ages/stages in life and other financial circumstances in our respective lives...

3.6% yield Is good today... :( That is PERFECTLY TRUE... My first mortgage on first home was 10,5% and went to 12,5% at renewal.. and I was no where near the highs I saw.. I had Canada Savings bonds at 15% (Maybe higher I do not recall) I had GICs (Canada Guaranteed investment certificates from banks that ROSE each year in yield.. was built in !! as no one thought rates would ever fall.. the interest payout % rate increased even when interest rates did start to plummet !! Now I see low interest rates for so long... but I know it is about real rate of return not nominal interest rate.. but one needs to keep an eye on SP too... 4% on invested dollars is outstanding today... I made a lot of dough in CDN trusts.. I was fine when the government killed them as I was out.. The rates were dwindling.. it became a bubble.. Comes a time when one says OK SP increase is so many months (years of divvy) .. The OTHER side of that is so SP needs rebound to X before I am again receiving X% on invested dollars... Just saying... And BTW I have great respect for roni .. I know he called Apple as a huge winner long ago... and caught a lot of chit for it early on...
