What a buy!I certainly wish you well. However, you may remember that analysts speculated some time ago that if the deal did not go through for any reason, BCE might drop to between Can $20 and $ 24. - We retail investors are never given ALL the facts, e.g. by how much BCE's investment portfolio had dropped during the past 6 months. If theirs has dropped as much as mine, 50% would not be unrealistic. This money is needed to meet ongoing obligations. In addition, the press mentioned an estimated pension shortfall in excess of $ 3 billion, that's an awful lot! - We'll see how things unfold during the next 2 weeks.
