I agree with your assessment. The stock was around $2 in December. It would likely fall to that level or lower. I will be voting YES. I will hold Goldcorp and collect some cash flow. Maybe use some selling of call options to give me a some additonal capital.
Every takeover deal in every industry has investors who think there was money left on the table, and aren't happy with the deal. It is a very good deal because the stock was at $2.00 less than 3 months ago. It is a very good deal because it is the highest quality dividend paying gold producer, yes they are investment grade. It is a good deal because investors get to particiapte (a call option) on chromite and whatever additional properties Probe Metals may absorb.
