   Strange times going on..  The main Canadian stock market (TSX) hit a   
   record high briefly today and it makes little sense. With the Tariff   
   wars going on you'd think investors would be nervous and it would be   
   low, rather than the highest ever..   
      
   Wishful thinking?   
      
   Anyways, it hit me more today because I have some GIC investments   
   about to pay out that have to be renewed or put into something else.   
      
   It feels like something guaranteed would make more sense than   
   putting it into stock market based funds that might drop suddenly,   
   although the guaranteed safe investments have greatly dropped the   
   past 2 years and are currently paying less than 1/4 the return that   
   most mutual funds are paying so it's hard to talk yourself into it.   
      
   I suppose our new Prime Minister Carney must be doing some things   
   right to keep the big investors confidence this high..
