RE:Interest in RioCan Stock might be waning?

Government will have NO choice but bail outs when they are the ones closing businesses, choice and RioCan are apple's and oranges, and your February assumptions are 100% pure speculation and your opinion, if shareholders shared your outlook on it this would be 5 bucks when in fact it's only 69 cents cheaper then pre div cut news, the dividend cut is not bad news and that will be obvious when the financials are released or buybacks occur. Smart money didnt sell on this news they bought for a discount. Getting even 1 dollar off the stock is 25 months of 4 cent difference in dividends, I like to think of it as an instant rebate. Or maybe you could think of it as a buy 17 get one free sale.
