RE:RE:Pembina don't be an idiot....Just saw the press releasse saying PPL is NOT going to up the bid. Excellent news!!
One thing I did find a little odd is that PPL shareholders are supposed to vote on the deal. I don't think I've ever seen a case where the shareholders of the company doing the take-over actually vote on it. Have other people seen this before??

I suspect that if the IPL shareholders vote it down and PPL lets the bid die, the PPL share price will have a quick buck or two bounce,

If they would never have made the bid the stock would likely be in the $44 to $49 range by now instead of $39.
Now I pray that they do not up their bid. Let Brookfield take Interpipeline if it is able to and take the break up fee. Brookfield will cut up the business so their will be pieces to buy at a discount down the road.
Overpaying for something is the worst way to treat shareholders so I hope they do not do this.
