Dipy, Per the numbers you gave, your premise and conclusion is terribly flawed. If 22 of the companies were acquired, merged, or went out of business, then most likely a majority of those 22 that didn't go out of business (do you know how many that is?) were given shares of the new larger companies, or paid cash for their shares. Most buyouts/mergers involve premiums for the acquired companies, so it's almost assuredly incorrect to imply that only 1 outperformed the market. If I held company A with a buy-in price of $5, and someone acquired the company for the equivalent of $200, I'm pretty sure for that timespan I walloped the market return. DWB Q2.5K/Y2K+5
