Cascade Bancorp (CACB)

[clokisticking]

Vote NO on merger ... Just look at CACB pre 2008 ... CACB IS NOW STRONGER AND MORE WELL ESTABLISHED THAN BEFORE ... CACB is currently and has been held back and dragged down by this merger proposal ... CACB IS SET TO PERFORM JUST LIKE PRE 2008 with the forward splits and big quarterly dividends ... the bad debt is just now gone off the books and the economy is ready for lift off which means loans, loans, loans for business and real estate and with interest rates going up it will make for a lot larger quarterly earnings ... CACB would be at least $10 by now if it wasn't for this anchor around it's neck ... CACB would easily double to $16 per share by the end of the year versus FIBK being able to double to over $75 per share ... the ones to benefit most from this merger are the executives ... which, By the way, 2 or more of them after receiving severance bonus will be employed by FIBK ... OF COURSE the board of directors strongly recommends that you vote in favor of the merger ... just look for yourself how other financial stocks like CACB have done and how CACB since the November merger announcement has exactly followed what FIBK has done because the merger proposal tied CACB to FIBK at the hip ... it's really tragic that CACB has been held down by this proposal
