Yes, that's pretty much the way it works.
You buy at $35, it drops to $25, so you're down $10.
However, an offer comes in at $30 for the company. You'll either sell your shares at $30 ($5 more than it was at, but $5 less than you paid).
If you don't sell, it usually gets converted to equivalent shares of the buying company.
Always be sure to do your research on your stocks and have a plan to sell before you buy stock in the future.
Knowing your exits ahead of time is a key to success! |

I am not totally sure of your question, but if your company is bought out lock stock and barrel by another company, you will either get cash or stock in the new company valued at the closing price. If the buyer is making an offer for stock in your company, you are not required to sell. If they get enough stock, however they can then force you to sell.
The truth is that you do have to sell in the end and sometimes the new stock does better. |

If you're allowed to hold on to your stock, it will be converted to shares of stock in the new parent company. I didn't know they could force you to sell, that's news to me. |
