RE: RE: what is with the pull back I've got a small bid in for some more shares @ $2.71, and may bump it up a few cents to buy at market. If one assumes that Brookfield's $2.50 bid is the floor then the downside risk at these levels is around 8-9%. And if one assumes that we will ultimately get a bid for more than $3 (let's assume conservatively $.3.25) then the upside potential of more than double that.
I will take those odds, also guessing that the ultimate bid will be more than $3.25.
This trading range of $2.70 to $2.85 is background noise and if you can eliminate the psychology (i.e. Peter, I think you doth spend too much time worrying about a few pennies moving up and down daily) one can better evaluate the risk/reward here.
Key is the assumption that Brookfield's $2.50 is in fact the floor for the stock. Just playing devil's advocate, but what happens if Brookfield doesn't up their bid and in fact pulls it like AQN did? In the short term we fall below $2.50. Hence my reluctance to buy another 10-20K shares outright, and prefer to nibble on the dips.
Cheers, all! I'm away all next week in the north woods and will only be checking e-mail/stocks/this bullboard sporadically. Hopefully I won't miss any WND fireworks.
