I know this sounds stupid but wondering if marginal gains are worth it?
I have a 26FT Offer a weak MM shop. BNP/CIBC/Scotia and have a 26SA offer for Jeff/HL/RBC type shop?
Can't do both as they overlap, I just feel I'm stuck at my MM and exits are terrible but at the others I can lateral. Obviously the risk is not converting & being empty handed.
What should I do???
