The Velvet Takeover

The biggest news in the Canadian financial markets is the proposed, unwelcome bid by BHPBilliton for Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan. BHP is an Australian mining firm withmassive global reach and they have the financial clout to make an all cash offer of $130 ashare. They are wasting no time by going directly to the shareholders with this deal and bypassing the Potash board of directors. While the management of Potash is screaming bluemurder the people in Saskatchewan are being amazingly quiet about this so called velvet

takeover bid; the smooth hand with the tempting cash.Its true that while head office for Potash is in Saskatoon the real mind of management is inIllinois. The biggest shareholders are mainly large financial institutions including mutualfunds and pension funds; many of which are foreign owned. When you look at this theresonly a sentimental connection to Saskatchewan. The business of mining doesnt really carewhere the goods are located. Since this is the case, why should you care about the deal? Itsall being grappled out in the murky depths of global finance while our lives will go on day-to-day pretty much the same.

Despite this there are potential repercussions for Saskatchewan. There are shareholders ofPotash Corp. who live in the province and, likely, pension fund holders who will be af-fected. There are also businesses that provide supplementary goods and services and result-ing employment that will be affected. They should be speaking up about their concerns.

BHP is very savvy and has chosen a particularly good time to make their assault on the Pot-ash corporate bastion. Few other companies can quickly muster up a strong competitive bid.Therefore, its up to the Potash shareholders to decide whether they should take the cash andrun. Its tempting since the share price has struggled through disappointing times since themiddle of 2008. However, in any offer the question is really what other better, more produc-tive choices will you have for the cash once received? BHPs shares arent traded in Canadaor the United States. If youre an investor interested in potash as a commodity youll have tolook at smaller publically traded companies here who will have lost their leverage becauseBHP will pull out of Canpotex (the marketing and distribution company wholly owned bySaskatchewan potash producers).

Why should you care? Because the world is heading for a food crisis: many mouths andmore demand that can only be met by higher-yield production. Dont let a couple of years oflower demand for fertilizer fool you, its a massively valuable commodity second only, pos-

sibly, to water. Everyone who grows grain should own Potash shares directly or throughmutual funds or pension funds in order to benefit from what will be significantly higher fer-tilizer prices down the road. When seen this way, $130 per share is just too cheap. Its a one-way deal that will never come back. Its not just that the commodity will be owned andmanaged outside of Canada, it already is, its that you will have no way to participate in thecompany that controls it. The best answer for Saskatchewan and all shareholders may be toreject the BHP bid and certainly at this opportunistic price. JK

Managing Your Money

Do You Need a Lifetime Income Guarantee?

Are you getting ready to retire or already retired? Are you looking for a secure, pre-dictable, guaranteed retirement income? The answer could be a Guaranteed Invest-ment Fund (GIF) with Lifetime Income Benefit.

A GIF (also known as a segregated fund policy) is a form of insurance that combinesthe growth potential of investment mutual fundsincluding built-in diversification,liquidity and professional managementwith the features of an insurance policy toprovide the security of a guaranteed income for life. Depending on the features you

choose, your GIF could provide:

A predictable income guaranteed for life, starting as early as age 50.

Payments based on an income percentage that increases with age and will neverdecrease (unless withdrawals exceed the annual guaranteed amount) regardless ofhow your policy performsthus protecting you against the risks of market re-turns and volatility.

Payments that can be deferred to increase the amount of the annual lifetime in-come.

The possibility for income resets - usually every three years that can increasethe amount of your income payments to help offset inflation. As your policy mar-ket value increases, you have the option of using those gains to reset your life-time income amount.

Death benefit guarantees. When you die your spouse, estate or other designatedbeneficiary will receive the greater of the market value of your GIF policy at thedate of your death, or the death benefit guaranteed amount, which can range from75% to 100% of all the contributions allocated to the policy (less reductions forany withdrawals). You select the 75% to 100% guaranteed death benefit payoutwhen you obtain the policy. Upon death, the proceeds of your policy can be paiddirectly to a beneficiary other than your estate, thus avoiding the time and expenseof probate.

Access to your assets whenever they are needed but certain fees or RRIF mini-mums may apply to withdrawals. Withdrawals in excess of the annual guaranteedincome amount will affect your lifetime income amount.

For business owners and professionals, a GIF offers the potential for creditor pro-tection of personal assets.

If youre looking for a measure of certainty in your investment portfolio and your re-tirement income, a GIF could make sense for you. Talk to your financial advisor aboutwhether its the right fit for your financial plan.

New Bestseller at the LibraryBook Review:

9 Dragons by Michael Connelly

This is the latest instalment in a series of novels focusing on Detective Hieronymus HarryBosch of the LAPD. Theres a shooting that may involve a Hong Kong triad, a reluctant part-ner, a detective from the Asian Gang Unit that Harrys not sure he can trust. Thats just atypical day for a fictional detective, until the case strikes close to home: Harrys teenagedaughter, Maddie, goes missing and he receives a video from her kidnappers. She is clearlyin danger and theres every indication that it is tied to the Triad shooting. Harry is on the nextplane to Hong Kong and he intends to bring his daughter back, no matter what.

I am a big fan of detective novels, and I love a good series you get a chance to get to know

the characters, to see them succeed (or fail) and to see what happens in their lives. HarryBosch, the character created by Michael Connelly, is a great example. Weve seen himthrough various ups and downs during his time with the LAPD (IAD investigations, transfersfrom Robbery Homicide to the cold case squad and back again) and turmoil in his personallife, including having his home destroyed in an earthquake. We saw him briefly married toEleanor Wish, a former FBI agent who is now a professional poker player in Hong Kong;their daughter a daughter Harry never knew he had lives with her mother overseas.

The story starts with a shooting in a liquor store; not an uncommon occurrence in LA. Thevictim is an elderly Chinese man, someone Bosch met many years ago, and he feels a strongconnection to the case. Hes a little out of his element he doesnt speak the language orunderstand the familys customs. Consulting with the Asian Gang Unit leads to suspicionsthat a Triad may be involved the victim appears to be paying off a customer with a suspi-cious tattoo on a surveillance tape.

Because Chu is unable to get a quick translation of the Chinese tattoos on the victim (whichmakes Bosch suspicious), Bosch sends pictures of them to his daughter in Hong Kong. Mad-die is able to make the translation and although Bosch cautions her to keep quiet about it,well, shes a teenaged girl with pictures of a real-life murder victim on her cell phone! She isbound to tell somebody. A few hours later, Bosch has a video message showing his daughter,tied to a chair, the victim of a kidnapping.

Hong Kong is a very different world from Los Angeles, but Bosch is determined to protecthis daughter. His ex-wife, Eleanor, and her colleague, Sun Yee, are able to provide somehelp, but Harry is running on instinct. He needs to find his little girl before she disappearsinto an Asian underworld of triads and human traffickers.

The story moves at a whirlwind pace and sweeps you right along with it. The characters arereal and honest there are no saints in this story but they get a chance to try and atone for

their sins. There are mistakes and miss-steps along with flashes of brilliant investigating. Itsa terrific addition to a terrific series.Aliveontheshelves.com
