[canucktravellers]

This on the TD Webbroker News Today on Bell Aliants site. How can this be right when yesterday Bell Aliant sends out to their news subscribers that they failed to get the required 90%? Now also they say " Bell Aliant will be removed from the S&P/TSX Composite, Capped Composite and Composite Equal Weight, the S&P/TSX Completion and the S&P/TSX Capped Telecommunication Services Indices after the close of trading on Monday, September 29, 2014" Sounds like a scare tactic to get the "Doubting Thomas's" to move & sell their stock.....or am I just being super suspicious? I think I will call & see what TD says if I want to remove my shares from their offer....hmmmmmm S&P Dow Jones Indices Announces Changes to the S&P/TSX Canadian Indices 19 hours ago by CNW Group A Deletion from the S&P/TSX Composite Index S&P Dow Jones Canadian Index Services will make the following changes in the S&P/TSX Canadian Indices: BCE Inc.
