TELUS Corp T.T

Bought Telus, sold Rogers

[DeanEdmonton]

Sold the Rogers shares March 16th at $64, missed the very top of $65 and change, but it has dropped back to nearly $60 so timing was pretty good overall. Made some nice capital appreciation holding them, plus the good dividends. May end up regretting selling them but figured locking in the profits and re-deploying the money into Telus for now makes sense. Will keep an eye on Rogers and see what transpires with this potential purchase. I think the premium offered for Shaw is excessive, and I am concerned with the amount of debt/dilution needed to pull off the purchase AND build out 5G. May turn out to be overly cautious or even completely wrong but I don't think I am giving up much upside at this point. Figure Telus is a better bet over the next 24 months.

Hey Dean I totally think you made a most excellent move. I've never owned Rogers nor Shaw and have never really liked them. I also think the bid price was way too high. My wife & I own both BCE and Telus and traditionally have liked BCE more, That has changed recently with a bit of a dislike for Bell Media and for BCE raising their divy when I don't think they should have, coupled

I also TOTALLY AGREE__as I continue to expect that the Merger will NOT get approved by the regulatory and political groups. Hey SARGEX__I have noted when you often have Posted your total holdings__you never seem to have been in either ATCO or TransAlta__and you have Ditched your Parkland holdings__this just seems quite Non Patriotic for an Albertan such as you eh ???? I anticipate BIG

Hey Red Long time, no hear. How's things on the Island these days? That's a good observation on no Atco or TransAlta and on selling Parkland. I actually did some consulting for TransAlta and didn't like what I saw from the management side. I evaluated Atco, CU, EMA, and FTS and decided on EMA and FTS.  We got out of Parkland as it didn't really fit our 5 sector approach

Hey SARGEX__Don't know how things are in the ParksVille area__but here on the Southern Tip of the Island indeed Spring has sprung over a month ago__so along with all the nice flowers and flowering cherry boulevard trees__of course has come the dandelions and mowing the lawns RUT. I actually had my heart ReBuilt late last November__so Taking Care of EveryThing will be no challenge anymore! So

Hey Red First off, sounds like scary stuff on the ticker. I hope all went well and you've recovered. Sorry on the Parksville comment. For some reason, I thought that was where you had moved to. Weather is a little different here. It's warming up now but me & the grandkids were still able to build a snowman this past week.  :-) We definitely took a major hit last March but didn&
