RE:RE:answer for Kevmaxif the price of Fortuna goes up , the price of ROXG's shares should trade up . There should / will be a link between the two companies until the deal closes unless another offer appears or the deal is withdrawn.
For instance , if Fortuna went up to $10 before the deal closes, you could sell in the market for $2.83 or close to it. That example is not likely to happen but you should get the idea.
Normally an acquiring company goes down and the purchased company goes up.
RONNIE111 , I do hear what you saying , you're not wrong but not right either. There is a pretty good chance (IMHO) that once investors get over the unexpected shock of the deal that Fortuna regains some of the 18% and that Roxgold goes up by a lesser percentage - in that case your Roxgold proceeds buy less Fortuna shares.
As you say you can hold the shares and get the ratio and there are capital gains to factor in.
Time to consult a financial professional.
