duahcim1 | Stock market question? |
If I invest enough to own 40% of a company stock, let's say at 20$ a share and, for some reason, the share value fell at 9$, making me lose more than half of what i invested, would it be a good idea to purchase 11%, to reach 51%, and if so, those that make me a major shareholder of the company |

it all depends on what you believe the actual value of the company is. If you think it has a strong future with the right management, by buying the controlling shares you could perhaps effect change that would raise the value beyond what you have invested.
If, on the other hand, you don't have a strong sense of a good upside potential for the company, or some underlying assetts that are worth more than the value of the stock, then you could just be throwing good money after bad.
If you are perceived by other investors as someone who is likely to turn the company in a positive direction, taking a controlling interest won't be a bad thing in terms of their decisions regarding selling or not. But if they think you are inexperienced or too risk tolerant, they might dump the stock after you get your 51% and you could take some losses in terms of the value of the stock, making it more expensive to raise capital if you should need some for turning the company around. |

hi.If u have faith in the shares of the company buying more shares would average and reduce your cost price.
But first try and find out the reasons for the decline of the share.
If the decline is due to reasons that are external to the company dont loose faith in it,but dont buy more shares.
But if the decline is due to bad management buy the remaining shares and that will put u in command,as u will become the major stock holder of the company |

yes indeed |

What would be the point? If you think you can turn the company round by having sole control, yes, I guess so. |

Yes you would have a controling stake in the company, however you are aware if you own more then 5% of the shares of any company you are subject to report and certain filings that may limit how you sell the stock. If you do not file then you may be at risk of legal action.

A beneficial owner
"Beneficial ownership may be shared among a group of individuals. If a beneficial owner controls a position of more than 5% it must file Schedule 13D under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934."
schedule 13 d
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schedule_13d
"Schedule 13D is an SEC filing that must be submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission within 10 days, by anyone who acquires beneficial ownership in a public company. Beneficial ownership is defined as one entity holding more than 5% of the company's total shares.
Investors should always read any 13D filings that are made by companies in which they are invested. These reports will show you who owns the majority of the company's shares and, perhaps more importantly, why they have an interest in the company. These filings are often a precursor to hostile takeovers, company breakups, and other unusual events."

I think unless you have some good ideas about how to reform the company, which obviously needs done if the stock has fallen more than 50%, you should consider cutting your losses, that is, if you would want to hang on to what you have left. |

If you can turn around the company and increase their stock price to $21 then go for it. |
