Stock price when the opinion was issued
Enbridge wants to buy ENF to simplify their corporate structure. In the States, Enbridge offered a small premium, while in Canada, they offered a premium. He suspects the directors of ENF-T are waiting for a higher premium (or that's what he would do). Pays a higher yield than Enbridge Inc. but lacks the dividend growth potential.
Can you explain the price of Enbridge buying ENF? Can retail investors try for a better deal? Premium is not large, but company is extolling virtues of accretion, and ENB pays an attractive dividend. If institutions are on board, hard for retail investors to get their say in. When companies consolidate, there are usually some savings.
