RE: Having 2nd thoughts about the deal todayInstead of see sawing so much, you should stick to one strategy. Banks are still way too early, especially in the States. As Derek Webb said the other day on BNN, "BCE is my number one pick". The odds are stacked in favor of the deal going through. 90% chance of a $4.75 gain as opposed to a 10% chance of an $8 loss. As far as the banks are concerned he said he has to make money for his clients now. They expect profits every month. If you are a long term investor, then in a couple of years you'll do fine with the banks. And he is one smart money manager.
