You want to buy the whole distribution company? Perhaps contact a lawyer?

It does not look like a stellar performer.  They have a market cap of $138 Million, making them a pretty small company.  They operate a REIT, and REIT's are pretty much out of favor with Wall Street right now due to the downturn in the real estate industry (with myriad other reasons).  Due diligence, due diligence, due diligence!!!

If the acquiring company is still around then yes.  If you know who the acquiring company is, you can contact the company.  If they are publicly traded then you will want to speak to their investor relations department.  If you don't know who the company is and you have a bokerage account then ask your broker to research it for you.  If you don't have a brokerage account then call a local brokerage and they will research it for you.  Another option is to contact the old transfer agent for Utah Gas & Oil.  The transfer agent is listed some where on your stock certificate.  It is usually a large bank or trust company.\n\nGood luck!!

you need to read the stock option plan.  they almost all have a clause on what happens in the event of a take over.

I work for the Body Shop and we were floored by the news that the company had been purchased by L'Oreal.  However, we've been assured over and over again that no changes were going to be made.  L'Oreal respects the Body Shop as a company for our products and our values, and hopefully, they will stand by that.  A lot of the higher-ups in our company look at the L'Oreal sale as a kind of honor.  It's amazing to think that such a small company, founded on such great beliefs, is now connected with such a large company with such great buying power.  (At least, that's what they're telling us.)  The goal is to eventually be able to use the strong buying power and just the name of L'Oreal to make an even bigger impact through the causes we support.  Let's hope that happens.  As far as Anita Roddick goes, I think it was a smart business decision on her part.  The Body Shop sales have been down the last couple of years...maybe this will be able to preserve the company.

A stock that would be perfect for you is one that I own, called Incyte (INCY).  They are a bio-tech pharmaceutical company.  Last November, they entered into an agreement with Phizer (sp?) for payments of up to $743 million upon successful completion of various drugs.  Well, recently they had some bad news.  One of their drugs was pulled after some bad results in Stage IIB trials...but they have a lot of good drugs on the way.  Plus that $743 million is double their market cap right now, meaning that the stock would skyrocket once there was a payment from Phizer to Incyte.  Check out their website @ www.incyte.com.  I plan on holding this stock for 3 years, or until it gets to 15 dollars, which ever comes first.

Coach has maxed itself out @ almost $40.00 per share and will never offer you much of a return unless it plummets back down to it's foundation price.  \n\nIt is too high and was only a productive purchase to those smart enough to get in on the ground floor.  \n\nIt is rated at an 8,  a great stock to own but as far as it going up enough to make you money...  I don't see it happening.  It wont ever become an Abercrombie or an american eagle.  I don't think so anyway...  always go with your gut!  I would hate to be the deciding factor and you not do something you should have done. \n\nCheck out Psun...  It just split and is still cheap!

personally I would not want to hold PFE,  on just high level evaluation it has a low relative strength of 23 and has been sitting well below its moving averages.  They don't show any great performance for key ratios when compared to competitors.  critical numbers have been declining over the past Q's.  I would wait for better valuations.  One reason to buy a pharma company is for their product development pipeline.  I didn't have the time to check that however.  They are also having to defend the Lipitor and spending money on acquisitions that may take time to become integrated and profitable.\n\nhttp://clearstation.etrade.com/cgi-bin/details?Symbol=pfe&Refer=http://clearstation.etrade.com/\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/q/co?s=PFE\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=PFE

Yes. Since monday 26/06/06, the consortium led by Ferrovial now controls more than 80% and the offer has been approved by a majority of shareholders.\n\nThe executives have started to be replaced.

Go to Alibaba.com. Incidentally, it is actually now owned by YAHOO. One of their better purchases, that will undoubtedly realise its full inherent value in the global economy in the near future.

Without more specifics, it could be a statutory consolidation as well.\n\nBut it sounds as though he is refering to a horizontal merger.

look up symbol ANDS.  It's a high risk drug stock.  It fell drastically recently due to stock option scandal, but it's recovering fast.

Um...ok, I'm pretty knowledgeable about this stuff, but I don't know what a 'reverse merger' is in this context.  Normally this term is used when a private company merges with a public one.  But a pink sheet company isn't private, so I assume you mean that they will get the OTC listing from the dormant public shell company. Which company's shareholders are you concerned about?  Because, in any merger, there are two companies involved. In itself, there's nothing patently wrong with it, and getting the listing would normally be a good sign, if it's the right kind of listing.  But are we talking NASDAQ listing or just OTC?  I mean, OTC could still be Pink Sheets, right?  So it may not be beneficial.  I guess you really need to clarify some of this before I try to make sense out of it.  Which company do you own shares in?  What type of OTC listing are they getting?  etc.
