NB Power Sale – NERC, FERC, NPSS, NBOS – Making sense of it all
I was just on the Facebook group that opposes the sale of NB Power. While I was unimpressed with quite a few participants on the radio shows on this topic, I was equally unimpressed with the quality of comments on the Facebook group. They boast of 27,000 members but the quality of dialogue leaves a lot to be desired. Again very few intelligent discussions on the topic. It appears that politicians are whipping up an already disgruntled public into a frenzy over the deal. I am not sure as to why the Shawn Graham and his New Brunswick liberals make a rookie project mistake (or is it?) of not involving all stakeholders early on during the negotiations with Hydro Quebec. But I am not here to discuss politics. I am trying to determine if the proposed MOU is favorable to all parties involved. I made a case for the sale of NB Power in my previous post. Before we go about dissecting the MOU, it helps to understand the context in which this deal is about to be consummated.

NB Power sale – a really good idea
Ever since the governments of New Brunswick and Quebec announced their MOU late October, the media and the people have been having a field day denouncing the deal. There are actually two decision points here. The first is to determine if NB Power needs to be sold, while the second is how to structure a deal, if it needs to be sold. Based on my analysis, I think selling NB Power might just be a good idea. Seriously guys, if you have any objective reason to oppose the sale of NB Power, I am willing to listen.

Will leveraged buyouts (LBO) be next?
So far the financial crisis has centered around mortgages and mortgage backed assets. As the current historical crisis unfolds and gobbles up respected Wall Street investment banks – here is a question to ponder. Will private equity companies be next?
Choosing the right mortgage (broker)
With the housing market crash south of the border, lenders everywhere have become more stringent in their requirements for making a mortgage loan. Repercussions are being felt even here in Canada. I read recently that they are not going to offer any long term (40 year) mortgages anymore in Canada with zero down. There must [...]
