Granted that was >15 years ago...
We had a more recent experience, but was very similar. The problem with the CST types is that there is no transparency and it was harder to get the money out. The timing sucked and it somehow took them 2+ months to process.

I would not recommend those to anyone. Use another, more standard financial institution, put money into a fund each month and you will be far happier.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
