RE:buy out at $3At this point the only way retail imvestors can protect themselves from a buyout is to lower their average SP cost as much as possible. I'm guessing most people here bought between 15-30 cents pre-split, so a $3 buyout would be a 16 cent average. Hopefully the buyout price is higher than that, but with this dog of a company who knows. Tough to put more money into a company that is so far off its rails, though.
