Q: Just received a notice from TD re Corus:
TD Direct Investing would like to inform you that the following New Issue has just been announced.
"Corus Entertainment Inc.
Short Description: Secondary Offering of Class B Non-Voting Participating Shares via Bought Deal
Price: $6.80 CDN per share.
Settlement: On or about May 31 2019."
The current price is $8.06 and it hasn't traded at $6.80 in a month.
How can they do this price?

Q: Thanks for your rapid reply to my question but I just have a quick follow up to the last line of your response which was: "Investors may also take some profits post closing, potentially causing an overhang and keeping buyers today on the wary side. "

If we are talking about post closing, then OH shareholders will have already received .8428 shares of CL for each OH share which would put them well ahead of where they are now based on the current disparity in prices between the two companies. Thus, rather than be wary, at this point they should be buying to take advantage of this disparity.

Thanks again.

Q: As can be seen, Cresco Labs is acquiring CannaRoyalty Corp. Can you provide any reasons why there is such a disparity between the price of OH and CL as we head towards completion of the takeover? As I write, CL is worth $15.65 yet OH trades at only $11.28. Based on the ratio of shares of CL they will receive, OH should be worth $13.19. If the deal was going to close in a year I might understand but it should be closing within a few weeks so the spread seems inordinately large.
Many thanks.

Thanks

Q: Why has Yangarra become so cheap? I was considering taking a position since it was a very strong performer over the last 2 years (maybe even the best performer next to PXT), up until November. I'm pretty sure its due to the price of NatGas falling from November on to new lows and YGR is like 50% gas. Do you see a lot of potential in getting such a strong performer when the share price is so beaten down or is it best to avoid NatGas stocks since there is no way of knowing how long it stays down with so much supply?
