The vulture funder will probably take over the company for free. The mystery funder could be a hedge fund (or maybe the mafia?). $2B to some of these hedge funds is pocket money.http://www.bnn.ca/home-capital-shares-plummet-osfi-monitoring-situation-closely-1.735043
Really interesting interview with an independent analyst who basically thinks it's all over. I can see the logic their funding costs have gone from 2% to 15%+. Just not a viable business going forward.
Not the mafia, not bikers, not the payday loan folks, not a hedge fund, etc. but a government pension fund.Now we know who the "vulture" is .... your friendly neighbourhood pension plan.
The report of HOOPP’s involvement raises some questions about how potential conflicts of interest would be managed. The pension plan’s chief executive officer Jim Keohane became a director of Home Capital about one year ago and sits on Home Capital’s risk and capital committee.
At the same time, Home Capital’s board chair Kevin Smith, who also works as CEO of St. Joseph’s Health System and Niagara Health System, sits on HOOPP’s board.
@malata re: HC that was by far my best trade of the year. 30% gain in six hours today. @babyfinsta you got pretty lucky missing that bear position!
Interesting opinion in today's NP. Home Capital didn't fall it was pushed by the OSC.
