You do not seem to understand or have little idea about the market.
If you buy a share in company AAA for lets say....$1 and the market sends that share price down to lets say .40 cents over time and company XXX comes along and takes over company AAA, friendly or hostile and offers the shareholders .50 cents and the majority take up the offer, what have you lost grand?
.50 CENTS PER SHARE. In other words, you have lost 50 percent of your money.
Simply because a company is taken over doesn't mean the end result is a good one for the share holder even if somes shares in the company that's doing the buying are thrown in as a sweetner.
In fact, depending on the price you bought them at, more often than not YOU LOOSE particularly over the last 12 months!
Do you have any idea at all?
