Q: The offer for BPY shares is US$18.17 from BAM. In the past 2 weeks BPY has been trading at a higher value. Today it closed at US$18.73, 3% above the offer. Why is it trading above the offer price?
The offer also said you could opt for 0.3979 of a BAM share. Today BAM closed at US$50.17. So if you opt for that option then you would get the equivalent of US$19.96. Are people bidding up BPY over the offer price and then they will exchange those BPY shares for 0.3979 of a BAM share? At today's prices they would make a 6.5% profit. BAM could fall between now and the closing so they are taking a risk. Is that the reason that BPY is trading above the offer price of US$18.17?

Q: MCAN (MKP) is a mortgage company that I hold. It seems to be a good income stock. It is raising more capital that I interpret as positive. Is this to hedge against the "expected" rising interest rates? If rates go up how will this affect their business? My holding is 3%, I am thinking of bring this up a bit based on their positive moves to increase capital. Am I reading this wrong?
Thanks,
Doug
