Company acquisition is possible without the existence of a stock market. What I’m objecting to is the latter.

- kuresov 3y agoIPO/stock market was not mentioned anywhere in the post. It’s much more typical to be acquired than to go public.
- Aerbil313 3y agoSorry, you’re right. Confused the two for a second.
- avarun 3y agoYou're the only one that mentioned the stock market at all, so I would question if you know the difference you're alluding to here.
- OJFord 3y agoAs others pointed out, nobody else mentioned sale by public offering. But let's go with it anyway, why is that different? It's just a way to have multiple owners, more easily very many of them than you could manage in a private sale. So why is the stock price not the actual value people see that slice of the company as providing them?
