    Tim Horton now has $7.2 billion market cap

    Well, it opened at $32 and looks to have sunk to about $30 by 11 AM. By my calculations, if they raised $672 million at $23.16 per share, representing 18% of the company, that means the whole company THI has a market cap of $7.2 billion at a $30 stock price. The interesting thing is...

    Will price double for Tim Hortons IPI this week (like Chipotle)?

    Here are some numbers to chew on. Dunkin' Donuts (and its sister companies) were bought recently in a private deal for $2.43 billion. That represented 12,000+ store locations. Tim Horton has less than 3000 locations and the 18% stake they are selling is priced at more than $700...

    Tim Horton IPO - Please take my online SURVEY - thanks

    The survey shows 65% of Canadians would buy Tim Horton stock. This probably means the stock will open high, go a bit higher, and then go into a period of decline because it is severely overbought. This is the most highly touted IPO of the year, even in the USA. Even Jim Cramer jumped on...

    Will price double for Tim Hortons IPI this week (like Chipotle)?

    The Tim Hortons IPO is on deck for this week, see this link: http://www.briefing.com/Investor/Public/MarketAnalysis/Calendars/IPOCalendar.htm It's priced at around $20 but all the stories I read keep talking about heavy demand, plus the fact Wendys is only giving up a limited amount (18%)...

    Tim Horton IPO - Please take my online SURVEY - thanks

    The chart above (Kona Grill) shows a 30% drop since the IPO over 6 months. I don't know much about that company. My feeling on Tim Hortons is that it is a growth company. They only have 280 locations in the USA but 2500 in canada even though it only had 1/10th the population of the USA. If...

    Tim Horton IPO - Please take my online SURVEY - thanks

    How is it spam? There are polls posted on these boards all the time to collect opinions. Those are not called spam. Plus I am trying to engage in a debate about the IPO itself with others. I have posted my own feelings about the company and am asking what others think. That is not spam...

    Tim Horton IPO - Please take my online SURVEY - thanks

    I am looking for your opinions about the upcoming Tim Hortons IPO, and possibly making an investment myself. Being a Canadian, I am particularly interested in the opinions of Americans who have visited a Tim Hortons restaurant in their local area. I know this company does great in Canada, but...

    How do market makers make money on opening and closing crosses if there is no spread?

    That logic seems a bit too simple. If that was the case, wouldn't both retail and institutional investors simply buy a large basket of stocks with MOC orders, and then sell them back with MOO orders? If what you said was true, then I think institutions would already be arbitraging with this...

    How do market makers make money on opening and closing crosses if there is no spread?

    In the last couple days I have flattened my long and short day trades with Market On Close (MOC) orders on Super Montage. So far I have found it an effective way to flatten positions in small and mid cap Nasdaq stocks. But I am puzzled by exactly how this trading process works. I am...
