RE:To add to Pabloimo. Think of what would have happened if they gave caisse (a real monetary managment company) a 50% say in what happened. Wouldnt be free market hedge funds, but controlling interest would be at a responsible organization. That its vested interest is in protecting pension investments, maintaining jobs and government tax in the province of quebec.
I dont think there is a cowboy alive that even knows the stock market or how to protect gains and manupulate losses. They are in oil. Not real technology.
The intistic value of bbd is limited by the fact that they fired there last ceo and put him as boss of the new ceo. Because he is family. Then they got a handout from the govt of quebec because they wouldnt release control or even consider it to the caisse. Hedge funds are not all that bad. Infact i have a few that thank god are in my tfsa. When you are considering buying shares it is capitalism plain and simple.
Make money, minimize losses. Do so under the radar. Unfortunatly today, i made a few enemies.
