Read Flash Boys by Michael Lewis. It’s pretty damned interesting.

You can start a FREE account and now they are giving $25.00 bucks to join. You can make up to $900.00 in shares by just sending out invites.

Nothing on Elon making a bid for the twatter? Wish I would have jumped in for that little spike.

I like the guy in general, but I really wish he'd focus on Tesla and SpaceX. It seems he's jealous of Bezos and Zuck's media empires and wants to get his own.

From an investment standpoint, though, it's tricky. Obviously you'd get a great deal if it goes through, but I have to imagine there's a high likelihood that it won't, and the stock will inevitably tank for a while if it doesn't.

From what I read he wanted to take it private, and then it would just be buyout thing. IF you were in before the news, it probably wouldn't go a hell of a lot lower.

Yeah, my concern is that they'll essentially tell him to **** off, and in that scenario, it would likely cause a short-term sell-off in panic.

Its a little over 46 right now. Elon is offering 54.20 a share?

A) Why would they not take that offer?

B) Wouldnt the share holders get the 54.20 for their shares?

Seems like easy money? No?

There's an obvious reason why they wouldn't want to take the offer and it's probably one of the reasons he put them in this position.

I personally find it hilarious that he started the move, at least publicly, with a twitter poll.

But you lose your job. No need for a board of directors of a private company. And probably most of management too.

I certainly don't have a great feel for everything that goes into such a decision, but I have to imagine that someone who says, "I'm buying you out, but I'm immediately going to completely shut down the entire thing" would be told to go pound sand. Elon's not that extreme, but it seems pretty clear he's doing this because he wants to change some of the fundamental philosophies of Twitter. I'm just not sure how the board will handle it.

54/share vs corporate raid I believe I’d have the conversation.

The boards fiduciary responsibility is to maximize returns for the shareholder, remember.

I’m guessing Musk knew it wouldn’t work but he was trying to shortcut the process of buying more shares to get a seat to force a sale.

My guess.
