More sure thing investments from Bay Street: NOT

I guess they called this kind of product a leveraged investment on a leveraged company that isn’t hedged?...namely Manulife.

This is the kind of manufactured garbage that is intended to fill the void created from killing income trusts, the product that most filled the needs pf Canadian investors.

This slice and dice investment sounds like a sure thing. Not.
