I have about 37500 cash (all I have no house etc.)
I would like to buy a house sometime in the future so my money needs to be 100% secure. My banks interest rate (scotia) dropped to 1.25%.
Im am pretty much losing my money in this account what should I do?
I dont want to lock my money in for too long, a year at the max (preferably not at all).

I've looked at a few things like Government of Canada Bonds "not canada savings bonds" they seem interesting but I cant find much info on them ie how to buy, interest payed, etc.

If you have any idea's or info I'd appreciate it, thank you.

Ryan.

With reduction of the Bank of Canada rate today anybody getting over 1 % in a bank will be getting High interest. I suspect it will be grim for sometime.
