RE:Catalyst releases detailed analysis of Corus circular While I have no doubt Catalyst got caught with their pants down on this deal (who saw this reverse deal coming???), everything they are saying I believe to be correct. This deal for Corus shareholders sucks balls. This to me borders on corrupt. Huge debt levels + a core business (Specialty TV) that is currently facing disruption never seen before = bad situation. The conspiracy theorist in me says that Shaw will buy back Corus for the debt only in 3 years. Corus is eerily following the path of large broadcasters in the US with all the debt fuelled consolidation. These guys are penny stocks now. This pop in the stock is clearly on the back of the deal NOT going thru...good luck with that. Expect another 500 jobs to be lost once it closes. This deal is being steamrolled thru. Corus Q2 just ended, don't be surprised after March 9 once the deal passes they warn on earnings. I still think (hope) $9 is the floor for a while and the market gives the combined entity time. I'm happy to sit back and watch as I'm too close to this.
