Shaw Communications Inc. SJRWF

Offer is for $40+... why is it trading at $34?

[JohnMayer]

Curious... what are the risks to the deal?  Rogers already lined up cash for the transaction from what I read in the deal.

I assume, The risk of rejected or alter the deal by the regulator

Its like a option to buy now, low life abritagers are gaming the share price to capture the time value until the deal closes. sure the regulators are a factor but not 6+ dollars a  share worth. you can sell now or wait and collect the divi for a year with a pretty decent bonus when it closes

[Nakate]

another thing that the government must consider is the rrsp tax winfall at stake if they kill the deal many seniors are collecting the divi through there rrsp's and now have a larger tax obligation that the government will sorely need. Just bought some more I like easy money

[JohnMayer]

Now bouncing  in the $31s... from what I'm reading from analysts and bnn, the only risk is regulatory.  So one has to ask, is that risk worth $9/share.... this is clearly a market mis match.  The shares should be priced no more than at a 10% discount to the offer price.  That puts it at $36.  In the meantime, you collect an almost 4% dividend to wait.  Seems like

Market is full of slime, Its going through, arb guys are playing the fear card and loading up, Telus and bce are already bigger so there is no reason not to approve from just a purely abillity to compete on a national scale argrument

[Sapho]

Never expected such a sweet offer. There has been speculation for years regarding Rogers and Shaw. I sold half poisiton. Keeping the other half for $40. Sweet. GLTA
