>>BCE: With US rates at all-time lows (at least on 30-yr bonds), Bell should be pretty attractive. However, the CRTC will have something to say about Bell's main business--phone calls--and it seems like even more competition is ahead. <<< Looks like someone closed a big 1000 BCE FEB 47.5 Puts today, Oint is now only 70. good for Tuesday link cboe.pcquote.com cl

Re: Deflation & Cash is King It is certainly looking like a deflationary period coming up; Home sales have been strong lately, and yet prices are still way below 1989 levels. Gold, Copper, and most commodities are on lows and looking lower. The confusing thing though, is why, if cash is to be King, why are we seeing currencies collapsing. You would think that if currencies collapsed, gold would strengthen If gold is falling, you expect to see hoarding of cash. And yet, just about the only currency that has not retreated is the US buck. I know you are a bit of a history buff. Any thoughts on where this is leading ?
