# X% @4 k/ V0 h# RI agree with cougarzuo. C currently is a BIG NO for me. It may give you an offering price for the new issue someday later, but I expect the price following the new issue to drop even below the offering price. Then you may consider loading some shares if you really like C.

I will not have time to monitor the market closely to be an active trader. I just wanted to turn some free cash into some long term assets. Would C still be there in 5 years? If yes, would the stock gain higher than inlfation and GIC? Thanks for your adivse.
