    "IEA sees crude crunch". You should quote the source and say that it is an unconfirmed wild assumption about the results of a just started study, full of uncertainties, about the supply situation 10 years from now. Besides supply, nobody knows what oil demand will be in 10 years, with all kind of conservation measures and alternatives beeing developed.
    There are already enough false statements fuelling the speculation. You should not add to that.

    Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]
    I remember the Carter - era lines at gas stations, and the NO GAS signs too.... and the price controls that followed and made things worse.
    Now I have experienced some long lines like that at the COSTCO discount gas pump. More people are gassing there to get a few cents off the price of gas at their neighborhood station, making for a much longer wait, much longer lines at COSTCO out in Puget Sound's Kitsap Peninsula. We've been gassing there for years, and breezed through until this month.

    And still, there are no Carter-era type lines at the gas stations.

    However, there are some in Congress who are looking for ways to return to that condition.

    Vote early and often (changing each time) in November.

    General Discussion on BCE
    With such a poor performance of my investment in BCE for several years due to a very poor execution by senior management of BCE, is there anyway we can block BCE's senior management getting bonuses$ due to BCE's LBO, and instead direct that $ towards all the shareholders. Reply

    Does the Clear Channel Settlement Spell Trouble for BCE? [view article]
    I agree with Mr. McQueen. RIM is just one of many venues for easier money than the BCE deal. The bondholders can still drag this on for at least six months by appealing to the Supreme Court, the banks may stall for a better deal and the list goes on. The number of potential roadblocks just does not merit hard earned funds remaining on the table in this stinking deal. It was handled poorly from the beginning...rather like the telephone service Bell sometimes gives. However the fault is with Teachers in this case who failed to honestly deal with the bondholders grievances and with the banks difficult position. Teachers answer has been to litigate. That is great news for their lawyers but really lousy for shareholders who with this deal have the patience of a saint! The truly laughable aspect of this deal has been the number of hedge funds in the USA who have been scrutinizing and chasing this deal as though it were the last one on earth. I have learned from this one that they are not as sophisticated or smart as they have pretended to be! Reply

    A deal is a deal. Reducing the agreed price would have to be approved by stock holders and then it could be opened to other bidders - Telus. Do the Teachers really want to open a can of worms. The deal will be done at the set price!! Reply

    BCE Deal Faces Several Hurdles [view article]
    I think Monday, May 12th will be a crucial day. Even Mr. Allen, would I am certain admit that the deal could be showing signs of major problems if the CRTC documentation is not filed by then. Monday could see the stock up reasonably well but just as likely down by more than 10% if the transaction's completion looks in jeopardy. Reply

    Genuity Capital Expects BCE Deal to Close [view article]
    My opinion is that there is some obstacle among the buyers preventing them submitting the revised documentation required by the CRTC. It probably relates to loss of equal control by the US buyers as ordained by Konrad Von Finckenstein. The request for a delay cannot be logically attributed to a logistical logjam at the buyers law firrms. They have teams available 24/7 for deals like this. The request curiously was sent at a very late stage to the CRTC leading me to conclude that the buyers were bargaining among themselves furiously hoping to reach a settlement up to the last possible moment.

    My second worry is that the bondholders can drag this case on easily past November financing commitment deadlines by appealing to the Supreme Court. One month in our (in fact most) court system is the equivalent of the blink of a layman's eye.

    Clearly there are still big hurdles. The Clear Channel deal looks like the banks will have to pay up. The BCE committed banks may be saved by either the CRTC or the bondholders protracted legal proceedings.

    So Fannie loses a couple billion and the regulators lower their capital requirements. Brilliant! Reply

    You state that BIDZ "Q1 EPS of $0.15 in-line". This is an incorrect statement. The actual was $0.18, which beats Street estimate of $0.14 (27% better than estimate). Reply
