RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:floor droppedNedstar - that was down right funeeee! What I always worry about on thse boards is someone buying into this B.S. and thinking it makes an arguement for a higher priced buyout. I don't believe anyone in their right minds would buy LB as an operating entity. It is poorly run and has a ton of tiny branches spread all over Quebec that would be a political nightmare to close. Assets and deposits, maybe, but you don't get much of a premium for that.

I would see Scotia Bank making an offer since they like Mexico and South America. So why would they not want to expand in Quebec ?. (safer than Columbia).
After the next quarterly report we will have a good idea of improvement in earnings. It will provide new infos for new takeover talks,
Dean....you're forgetting this poster is insidersnoop. He likely had the offices where the negoiations took place bugged. No way he would make stuff like this up ;-)
