Next steps..

Guys, need a practical advice here since it is a first time I am locked in this situation.. It is nice to see 60% up in one day, but I am still another 25% down so the question here is what can be the next scenario? Is it better to just leave and to re-invest 75% + to submit the loss later (around 8K) or to wait in the hope the price will go up? The problem is I don't see how the price can go over 1.65 if this is the price of the purchase or I am missing something? On the other hand - is it possible the price will go down after today's excitement? Or 1.65$ is something that the new company "HAVE TO" pay to all existing shareholders? Please advise!

I have a smaller position and am underwater as well  so I'm still holding. $1.65 is the likely scenario and the market is pricing it as so. Only think that could change it is if the deal doesn't go through at which point the stock would drop significantly at least for the short term. If I were up, I'd sell into the volume today but I'm not so I'll wait until the dust ...more

Thanks! But let's say the deal is signed - will they force us to sell the stock? I think the company that bought MSL is a private one, no share to offer in exchange..?

If you sell now you may get $1.61 in mkt...if you wait till buyout closes you get $1.65, or 2.5% more over say 4 months to close deal or 7.5% annualized return.....if you have better use for the money sell now....

There is also a chance that the deal will fall through!!

Vitaly if you had 500 shares the four cent difference is 20 bucks on 5000 shares its 200 bucks Take your loss and move on while you can There is a chance this deal never closes and your shares will be at . 80 cents I don't trust fishman at all I sold at 1.11 Looking back I lost a ton on this but one must move fwd

they wouldn't have even considered tabling this offer to shareholders to vote on if b Goodman wasn't already on board. Plus the guys accumulating shares above 1.60 aren't going to vote no. So I'd hold unless you only own 1000 shares lol

While anything's possible, to hang on hoping that there will be a better offer is not a very good investment strategy. The release specifically states that the offer is "financially fair" so it's unlikely that somebody's going to come in and overpay. On the other hand, even the slightest whiff of an issue with the deal and the price is back at $1.10 in seconds. So if you ...more
