I have a question for you guys. I have received info that a now public company is attempting to go private. Their stock price has been in a precipitous decline because of recent losses due to expansion. Insiders own at least 45% of the company. My question is, what determines the buyout price if it does indeed go private? Is it a vote of shareholders, and thus if insiders own over 50% they essentially have say in what the buyout price is? What happens if you feel the business is trading at < 50 cents on the dollar, you buy a small number of shares and hold out for what you feel is a reasonable price? Is your fate determined by whether the owners have less than or greater than 50% of the company? Thanks for your help. -rth
