Q: There seems to be some confusion regarding the Brookfield offer to Enercare. Here’s is my experience. The vote for the offer is due September 20th before the meeting four days later.
On the other hand, the instruction for choosing the option 1 (having BIP.UN shares for ECI) or option 2 (the default, receiving cash) had to be given to TD Waterhouse before September 14th at 11h59am. Like some customers I received the notice dated on September 6th just this Monday. According to Kingsdale Advisors all instructions should have been registered by them this Monday September 17th at 5pm.
So according to my experience, TD Waterhouse did a lousy job of making sure their customers receive the timely information. Moreover, on Monday morning, I had to wait two hours on the phone before talking to a TD agent regarding this transaction.
I hope this helps clarifying some of the confusion. May be someone should open a forum for discussing possible recourses against brokers in those cases because this it is a recurring theme, in my experience.

Q: This was supposed to be a no lose scenario: buy ALA.r get the dividend and if the deal goes through the receipts convert to regular stock, which was supposed to rally because the transaction closed, if not get your the money back and keep the divident

Since then, it's on a free fall, the deal closed but shares continues to drop daily. Can it maintain 10% yield?

Q: Good Morning 5i Do you have any idea as to why Tilray is rising so fast? I'm holding long on Canopy for this sector and not intending to sell this year. And not intending to buy Tilray. Is Tilray's rise likely to pull upward sp of WEED up faster? Also talk of large short positions in the sector. Any background thoughts on what is happening as we approach Oct. 17th. ?
