What happens down the road, when its shares are absorbed by the purchasing company? Does the actual value of the (formerly owned) stocks tend to go in any particular direction? (I'm asking because of friend of mine recently purchased some YAHOO! shares, and I'm considering telling her to take the [significant] short term profit and run...) (And I'm new here, so please be gentle...or NOT!) ;>) Thanx all! FACE Fri, 01 Feb 2008 08:37:10 -0500
