Why I am saying no to both offers.My reasons are not entirely scientific, but I am sick of Canadian companies being taken over by Americans. All their future patents will no longer benefit Canada. There was an article on this general subject somewhere recently. Sandvine seems to be doing quite well and pays a decent dividend. I'll just have to put the money somewhere else if it is taken out. That Vector Capital and Francisco Partners think it's worth taking over, i.e., is not over priced, just confirms SVC's value.
