Twitter wouldn't exist in this scenario from the stock holder's perspective. They would get cash and then put that cash into other investments of their choosing.
The only way this makes sense is if there is a bigger offer incoming OR if the Twitter board has a plan to make twitter much more successful in the near term and succeeds at that plan.
- myvoiceismypass 5y agoI think the "not a hedge fund" part is referring to the fact that this would be a taxable event for the average stockholder. You can't just presto move that same amount into another tax stock.
- lupire 5y agoNo, they meant that Twitter is a specific business that shareholders believe in, not just a financial vehicle. Like part of the value of your house is that it is your home, not just a liquid investment. Taxation is only a concern for folks who have big unrealized gains and lack harvestable unrealized losses.
