Goldcorp take outMost would have seen the news this morning about the take over of Gold Corp . The small common shareholders got totally shafted and the Gold Corp executive was in on the deal . The price paid is not even close to book value which itself was extremely low . This was why I was so happy when our management installed a shareholders rights program . I know some people thought it`s a bad idea and only good for management but this takeover demonstrates how little some companies care about the small shareholders . I know a few people who paid between $40 and $50 for G. a few years ago and held on because it`s worth more than that . You can bet the executive and board at Gold Corp are going to be richly rewarded by Newmont .
