    • You won't have made as much as stockholders did today. I made $9.12 today. Drinks on me.CyBrainX

    • Is this a serious question? If you buy it you own it. That’s it.monospaced
    • Once the buyout is finalized, you get paid out at $54.20 a share. Maybe they send you a cheque. The risk is you buy now, buyout doesn't happen, price plummets.monNom
    • I don’t think so.monospaced
    • Twitter won’t send checks. When a company changed hands the shares remain with the shareholders. Elon isn’t buying shares from people dude.monospaced
    • The shares will go up or down in value. That’s it.monospaced

    • Delaware company can have 500 shareholders I think. I think that’s the largest for a private co.monNom
    • As for shares. Most are registered to ‘street names’ so you don’t actually hold them. You hold a claim to them that is mediated by the broker/market maker.monNom
