OT*OT* Contest Question What if a stock gets bought out and the deal closes before contest end? For example, Ascend agrees to be bought; at 1:1 LU share; the deal closes before y/e; and for sake of this example say LU closed at $80 the day the deal closes and at $100 <g> at y/e. In this example, how would an ASND pick be treated, eg. disqualified, final price of $80, final price of $100? Thanks.
