May go up, May go down. If the news is out you might as well stay in it for the ride. The win or loose has already been counted.

Tor Arne H is wrong. It doesn't matter who to only how much.
Companies that are strong and buy other companies are usually better risks than week companies that are getting bought.

If it was a desperation move, your value is already gone.

Normally there will be a Report of unscheduled material events or corporate changes. 8K that will explain the deal.

rima331 is wrong you will not get to vote on anything unless you have a large number of shares. You are proxied already.

Try the SEC Edgars for it.

You will be sent a proxy statement relating to the special meeting of the companies merging, your stocks may stay the same if the old company brand name is good, it may change in name but have the same value, or the acquiring company may choose to offer a cash option for the stock, which the shareholders can approve or disapprove by mailing in the proxy card or attending the special meeting. If that is the case you will also be sent a letter of transmittal to tender your shares.

You might get cash, or shares in the new company. Check the news on the company you hold shares in -- there should be details of the deal someplace.


Adam J
If you own stock in a company that is bought out, you will either be given stock in the company buying out your company, cash, or some combination of the two.

The price of the stock that you own should go up to almost but not quite the price at which the other company is offering to buy out your company (reflecting the possibility that the deal might not go through.) You can wait around to get the extra little bit, or just sell and do something else with the money now. Personally I'd cash out, unless you have a tax reason to hold on a bit longer (ie you want to hold the investment at least 1 year for a long term gain).

There's a chance the deal wont go through. If it goes up on the announcement you might want to sell. Its probably going to lag the deal price until it goes through. If it does go through it will be several months before you actually get the money, at the deal price, with the proxy voting and the closing of the deal etc. Also there is a slim chance that another buyer could emerge and drive the price up further.

Your stock will be converted to the new company's stock. If it's a good company, hold on to it.

My company is going thru a buy-out right now and I have a lot of stock in it...I was a little freaked out but before I could really act on it the company agreed to a stock price that we are guarenteed and it's actually better then market value --- Closer to the actual sale date the market value might jump up so I placed a limit sell order thru my broker....If it hits the amount I picked it will sell....otherwise it will sell for the agreed upon amount....

It really is a guessing game.

Depends on who they sell the company to.
