So....
it looks like TD and Scotia are out and likely National now too and RBC is out with their HSBC acquisition.....
interest is waning and less players means a potential stink bid....and likely BOD will not be able to accept any bid far off the $55 to $60 bid....after all book value is just under $60
so they get a low bid and decline and carry on but the price is gonna TANK back to low 30s
this is much more risky than investors think.....just because its a bank stock and paying 4.75% dividend that does not help you if you have a loss from $40 to $32 is and that is a loss of 20%....so your dividend will take 5 years just to get you back to even....

Even after the transaction, National is still viewed as “the best fit among the Big Six banks” to acquire Laurentian Bank, according to Veritas Investment Research analyst Nigel D’Souza, responding by email.

Not one analyst has said RBC was out of this because of their HSBC buy. But 88 has already posted they are out of the running. Funny how he lies to himself.
