I would prefer to keep my shares at $14 and get a regular dividend in a good company than take a $17 or even $18 offer.
A takeover I will have to pay most of the profit as capital gains tax.
Also I am going to have to look for another good business at a descent price, which is hard to do at the moment.
$22 at least or else forget it. Hope instos feel the same way.
