Cascadia Capital, a Seattle based boutique investment bank says they have experienced a 94% increase in Canadian acquisitions of U.S. companies over the past two years. According to Cascadia Capital there were several key drivers. The cash position of many Canadian companies has increased. However, so has their stock value, which drives these companies to stop buying back their own stock and start buying other companies for growth. Even though the U.S. outlook is for limited growth in the near term, it remains one of the largest consumer economies in the world and a good place to invest for companies looking to diversify their exposure to a single economy. http://www.cascadiacapital.com/
