Now to take the $25,000 @ 0% for 15 months I got from a credit card and plow it into one of these (Non TFSA of course)...easy money.
EDIT: the Manulife fund seems to be a no load fund, not sure about RBC, nor can I find their fund to buy on TD WebBroker. I'm thinking it can only be bought through RBC?

I'll eat the mouse on my computer if you get those RORs now. Well, it is a laptop and has no mouse, but the point is that MM returns now are pitiful (around 2% or a little better from what I've seen). I have noticed in the past that some of them give a bit better returns and I don't know how they can do it. Five-year GIC rates right now are just over 4%! How can a MMMF beat that?
RBC funds can be sold by non-RBC "advisors." Maybe not all of them, but some can.
