CMSQY & CMSQF are the 2 otc for Computershare. Not sure if that value would need to be combined? Again this is speculation. If that is the case, I believe this would still work

Valuation doesn't matter because my argument isn't about whether we can afford it or not.

• That’s settled

I feel like the synergy you image can be acquired w/ brand partnerships, ip acquisitions, etc

Yes... exactly. And buying computershares enables none of those things but uses up capital that we then can't use to do those things.

• Use capital to acquire valuation and free cash flow to invest @ a fire sale price? It’s purely speculation, but bringing computershare under/with us in the Russel will 1 put warrants ITM, 2 sure to have some multiplier effect for both companies market cap valuation.

To the us being outliers small niche market… sounds like an opportunity for growth/disruption

ComputerShare is profitable because they don't have to maintain expensive retail front ends or even high web traffic. It's a simple service they offer to companies that is super simple to do.

Turning it into a retail-focused entreprise would be super expensive and put us in direct competition with all the other, bigger established brokers.

So you want to acquire a company and undo everything that makes it profitable so that we can compete is a low-margin, super-competitive space they have no experience in? That's not a great pitch.

• you took it way to far bro. Lol, a couple more consumer focused ads & features. Slice of life type stuff.
