Yeah, that "could" happen. But my point was that you can't just go out and get a 20% yield. Luck is a big factor.

You could win a lottery for example, pay off some debt, maybe buy a car because your current one is a clunker, and use the excess to say catch up on some badly behind RRSP's and invest the rest in some investment scheme of your favour ... and then watch as it disappears at 20% to 25% just like everyone else's savings are disappearing.

Just sayin' ... Your mileage may vary, but I'm just sayin' ... that's all.
