RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Majority ownership at 44% ownership???

If any of the large institutional shareholders balk at this ,I think you will see BCE through in the next quarter dividend as a kinda 2% top up. They always leave some on the table so they can make us ...more

RE:RE:Majority ownership at 44% ownership???

Add BA insiders to BCE's 44% and you'll likely tip over 50%.  This deal seems to be solid.

RE:Majority ownership at 44% ownership???

Legally your understanding is correct, but a lot of minor shareholders don't form groups to exercise their rights. This situation is similar to Harper acting as if he's a majority govt. when ...more

Pension Managers should ask for a fair deal

BCE looking for a Done-deal @ $31.00 is not giving pension plans and pensioners a fair deal. A win-win situation for all parties would be - cash of $10.00 + fair value of BCE shares.

My advice is No deal until it's time. ... Although BA share price has been depressed in value for couple of years, it has good equity values. DON'T SELL UNTIL IT IS TIME.

October Dividend

BCE CFO   S. Valaselja was interviewed yesterday on BNN.  He stated categorically that there will be no payout in October.  They anticipate it will be a done deal by then.

RE:RE:What is your plan??

Agree, there is no need to rush in. We should wait for a sweeter deal fhan this one. $3.0 plus is equal to 1-2 years dividends for long term investors (66% of the total BA share-holders). Cash $10 ...more
