This writer is so correct.
My family ha...Brent,<br /> <br />This writer is so correct.<br /> <br />My family has been investing in income trusts for 10 years now, mainly oil trusts in the beginning.<br /> <br />Then in business trusts, in which I was a healthcare consultant on one trust conversion. I was involved in the business not the conversion or investment banking side.<br /> <br />Flaherty gambled wrong, he thought private equity would silence all the upset income trust investors. <br />His gamble was that the private equity and the endless access to cheap leveraged capital would takeover the trusts at a nice 20 to 40% premiums.<br /> <br />Then our grandmothers and moms would stop their complaining and the pension plans would stop their complaining and be allowed to takeover our nice business trusts at a less of a premium.<br /> <br />Well that gamble by Flaherty rolled a two and a four which adds up to his IQ for him and his clan, the cheap money ended and the trusts were trashed or taken under in some cases, like Terranet.<br /> <br />Yes, Mike is so right<br /> <br /> <br />JCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141615629701321642.post-25046124118986203782009-06-29T11:57:56.033-04:002009-06-29T11:57:56.033-04:00In this case the elder abuse is also abuse of Cana...In this case the elder abuse is also abuse of Canada. Senior Canadians have always been savers and investors. The Harper/Flaherty tag team has damaged the Canadian equity market and eliminated or reduced investment opportunities for individual Canadians while at the same time giving tax freedom to foreign buyouts. <br /><br />In the fullness of time all this will come to light. But what are we going to about it now?Kephalosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141615629701321642.post-76286666581395429972009-06-29T09:10:34.802-04:002009-06-29T09:10:34.802-04:00Abuse of any kind must not be tolerated.
That is ...Abuse of any kind must not be tolerated.<br /><br />That is why the income trust debacle was so unique in a country that will travel thousands for miles to save women & children from the real threat of the Taliban but do nothing to protect it`s own citizens.<br /><br />It appears that the Afghan people are more deserving of our protection than the folks here in this country.<br /><br />"Domestic people abuse" occurred on Oct 31st 2006 with barely a peep.<br /><br />It was like we deserved it or something.<br /><br />This is the same as saying the older lady in the video deserved to be ripped-off by her son or grandson just because she had lots of money making it a "it does not matter" issue.<br /><br />Even the American`s who invested in trusts are protected somewhat as at least they are allowed to sue for their losses.<br /><br />Democracy in Canada is all screwed-up & is all but lost.<br /><br />Is Iggy the man to bring the power back to the people or will he just prove to be another in a long line of power grabbers.<br /><br />Us old abused farts are waiting for an answer to that one.<br /><br />Dr Mike PopovichDr Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16915911929286615081noreply@blogger.com
