RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Entreprise familiale

RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Entreprise familiale Hi 859, this is more of an academic point than anything else but a few things I'd like to point out.

First, anything that Bombardier does or doesn't do that the competition views as beneficial them probably hurts Bombardier. Carrying so much debt benefits the competition. It means Bombardier can't invest more in new products, and it means the competition can use FUD (fear uncertainty and doubt) in their sales pitch. 

Second, there are other stakeholders in this. If shareholders - risk adjusted - aren't worse off with less debt, then I would argue the others - clients, employees, suppliers - are better off.  Some compensate for that and it costs Bombardier. Case in point, the Honeywell lawsuit.

Third, actually you would think the family is all for (raising more equity). The share price is low (bargain), themselves (and partners perhaps) only need to invest more or less 10% of the total equity raise to maintain their level of control, and it makes their significant stake safer.

Anyway, putting my tools down on this but I'd really like to see the debt reduction plan somehow be accelerated. The refinancing a couple of months ago was definitely a trigger, didn't sit well with me.

And just to reiterate, I haven't sold a single share. As a matter of fact, if it drops below $50, I'll probably buy more. 

Cheers,
