Mirko Bibic and the clowns at Bell. Be sure to reward their financial acumen at AGM time. It will be important for anyone with shares to vote.

BSdetector - I agree. I made the comment yesterday that it is hard to tell whether AQN or BCE is the worse run company. I am only holding a small position in BCE but I really wish it was 0% rather than 2% of the protfolio. Not sure this is the bottom, so not buying any more any time soon. Need to see some change in Board and Exec.

Both CEOs went to the AltaGas school of advanced market cap destruction. There needs to be a lot more transparency about executive compensation models. When growth at any cost is the trigger for variable executive compensation, the common shareholder isn't even a consideration, and gets thrown under the bus every time.

for a company that keeps going on about becoming a techo company why have they not read the market sentiment and put together a game plan presentation for investors outlining expansion location, numbers for new customers and how they plan to handle the competition threats of discounts and prices . They went on about retrenching in Canada because competitors were discounting so much to explain

[BlueDawn]

Very reactionary view point. the shareprice dropped: because of a price war in Quebec lowering ARPU, (caused by quebecor pandering) because some hedges wanted to short Canada and used the Canadian telcos as a proxy, (evidence the 3:1 short ratio between nyse and tsx) because the fed needs interest rates up to offset the BRICS, gold and Bitcoin pressures, (neither of the others offers

Let's focus on BCE. When Bibic sold BCE's Entertainment interests, where did he say the proceeds would be allocated? I expected the monies to go towards the debt monster he created but no...

BlueDawn: Are you a BCE IR plant? Yes or No..

[BlueDawn]

No I do not work for Bell.   I am a shareholder with a significant investment though.

What BCE management actually said: The transaction is expected to close in mid-2025. BCE currently intends to direct proceeds of this sale towards reducing debt levels and to support its ongoing transformation from telco to techco with a focus on core growth drivers.

I think you made the same mistake you stopped reading at the top part that was interpreted by the news agency (CNW) and didn't actually read the quote... Your link is the same thing I already posted   this first paragraph is the media interpreting the news The actual quote from Mirko is below... Did he say pay down debt???      MONTRAL, Sept. 18, 2024 

[2young2invest]

My quote is DIRECTLY from BCE website, thus the source. It is NOT an interpretation. I think you need to learn how to use internet, I know it is hard for boomers though.

[BlueDawn]

I stand corrected, you are right ...  I stopped reading at the Mirko part, while he didnt say it but that is their new release and in the legal part at the bottom regarding forward looking statements they did mention debt reduction... Certain statements made in this news release are forward-looking statements, including statements relating to the proposed sale of BCE Inc.'s ownership

[Ocalaman]

despite all the number crunching being done by amateurs on the board this stock is the stand out winner in the Capital Destruction catagory. It might be just ahead of TGT.

Who ever is behind the short attack holy smokes today was heavy https://fintel.io/ss/us/bce I wonder if the Shorter  is trying to trip the stop losses and trigger a panic sell... This is one of the heavier short push I have seen on BCE Well over half the NYSE volume was a short...

[newcoin]

Perhaps the bottom is in? It could very well be. Unless the whole market crashes, then that's a different story entirely.

[rixpix]

If there's a "short attack" going on right now you know what that means, don't you? Shorters don't short a stock to keep it from rising. They short in anticipation of bad news coming out. If the short attack is taking place at these prices, the bottom is not in yet.  GL

Today was weird I saw short inventory drop from 1.5M avail shares to 350k.  That's a pretty significant drop normally (when the stock was hovering in the mid to upper 40's) it buzzes around 4m available, after the Ziply new it buzzed around 1.5 to 1M. Today was a really big drop which was significant compared to volume. what this tells me is there is some pretty significant buy
