RE: NBF finished buying?First of all the Date of Record is past, it was January 25. Any buying after this date will not effect the vote. In other words, the deal is now either a go or a no-go, unless of course people change their minds before Feb 26.
National Bank picked up around 1.5 million between the announcement of the deal and Jan 25, about 45% of all the shares bought. They have bought another 400K since. This suggests that this is not someone accumulating "Yes" shares, but rather someone anticipating a better offer. Hope they are right!
