Sylvester, If you don't like the company, why buy Bay ? The rumors are just that and nothing more. As Bay gets closer to announcing another disastrous quarter, the risk of a deal NOT happening are increasing. Consider the risks involved before "betting" thousands of dollars: - NT cannot under Canadian laws pool their shares, like american companies can. This makes this multi-billion dollar merger much less attractive to NT and makes smaller acquisitions look much better (Avici,Aptis,Plaintree ring a bell ?) - LU cannot use their market cap until October to buy anyone, making them an unlikely candidate - Every indication is that Bay will miss their numbers AGAIN !! If they do, without a buy-out offer, their stock will tumble. There's no such thing as a sure thing. Bay may get bought, maybe even this week, but I'd research your decision a little more before spending your hard-earned cash on this dog. Cheers, Peppe
