RE: WRT a takeoverOne of the very bad things that I see resulting from a takeover is the terrible tax position this puts individual investors in. If there is a buy out then we are basically in a position whereby any regular type trading accounts will cause a huge capital gains situation all at once. To be honest, I'd much rather wait, and sell slowly into the future, limiting my taxes for each year. I think that Wi-lan has the potential to be a long-term hold. Dividends, further appreciation, etc. Don't want no stinking company buyers coming around. I've been through it before. It never serves those of us that have held for a very long time.
