It's essentially a balanced mutual fund with restrictions similar to those of a locked-in RRSP.<br /><br />Why would anyone willingly contribute to a locked-in account when there are countless options with much more flexibility?Canadian Couch Potatohttp://canadiancouchpotato.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465015914589377788.post-830569097833738682012-05-30T13:10:06.938-04:002012-05-30T13:10:06.938-04:00@Echo: I guess the astonishing actions of buyers ...@Echo: I guess the astonishing actions of buyers makes the writing of new books less astonishing.<br /><br />@Paul: LOL - Perhaps "The Worried Foster" will be the next title.Michael Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362529610470788243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465015914589377788.post-91870463917369287392012-05-30T10:01:03.298-04:002012-05-30T10:01:03.298-04:00Well said echo.
