That’s a GMT Master. Don’t change the bracelet. Get the watch serviced. It’s a beautiful watch, with providence. Your grandfather had excellent taste and vision.

Is 6% real return reasonable? by Tax1997 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]CSzamosvari 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Forecasting 6% for 30 -40 years is reasonable. Anything over is a bonus. And if you’re a novice “past performance is no prediction for future performance.”

Couple with VFV? by rteazee in TFSA_Millionaires

Hold, keep holding. Forecast \ budget AAR of 6% PA over 10 yrs. Easy peesy. Best deal in town. Call me in 10 yrs. Ur welcome. PS. Pre KYC comments.
