LNKD stock was volatile which meant that share price crashes were great opportunities to invest if you believed in the long-term dominance of the company. I "loaded the boat" when it fell to $100/share. There's little doubt in my mind it would have made it back to $196/share (which was about my estimate for fair value) with or without MSFT, although it got there much faster this way. Curiously the stock is trading about 3% below the all-cash offer price so I guess that Wall Street believes there's a small but non-zero chance the deal doesn't happen.
