RE:Premium of 30% for buyout ?No one is getting a Canadain bank the size of LB especially in Quebec, for under $50. They won't sell.
You will all be surpised when the bids come out and who ends up winning the LB.
I still think Scotia and TD will show up along with National, RBC and Desjardins. Possible a foreign bank will appear as well.
Scarcity of assets will drive the bidding. Watch and see.
