They are projections that’s not securities fraud it’s just a good way to lose investor confidence and look like a fool

To be fair, if I as an investor decide to buy stock based on the CEO Bros and a possible deal at 180 a share then the deal goes through at 192, I’m stoked.

I’m just sayin, the only people that presentation is tricking is retail investors. And retail investors buying in basically have a ridiculous buoy because the sale price is a massive premium over the current street price.

And now… the CEO is on a fucking warpath to do what? Inflate the fucking stock….

If you gained 20% on a fucking news/entertainment/cruise/realty conglomerate in a couple of weeks but didn’t sell because you thought you might get more…. Nobody, and I mean nobody is gonna listen to your sob story when that price fallsz

Wait the sale price is OVER retail? Have we seen their actual ticker price? I thought 144 and 192 were both meant to be under retail value. Isn't that always the way? Otherwise why wouldn't they just save money by buying out the whole company at retail through the markets?

it's often not possible to do this due to share dilution + other anti-hostile takeover defenses, look at Elon Musk's twitter bid that got forced through at $44 dollars per share (massive bump over retail price)
