I like that. Now that we are Feds cyber security I can't see govt letting BB fail. Don't want to become like Bombardier, dependent on handouts, but it's nice to feel somewhat protected.
What I like about BB is that cyber security doesn't just end if economy/market goes south. It's similar to people still needing heat in the winter & fuel in the auto despite what's going on (loved those Enbridge shares).
Right now I'm enjoying some of these big hacks and BB not being involved. How long can businesses pretend not knowing about us? 'Buy American Joe' seems to be a recipe for getting hacked tight now. Are American companies going to buy into BB or take their licks just to remain patriotic?
Takeover fine with me. I think we're becoming more attractive each and every day. The shorts will play their game confidently for now.
