Take-Two stock drops following EA pullout

LMFAO.

Do you get the stock market at all? If EA says they're going to buy the company for X, the share price jumps to make the company worth X. If you buy it at lower, you're guaranteed to make money when the deal goes through. If you buy it for more, you're guaranteed to lose money (unless you're buying a massive amount because you're actually mounting your own hostile takeover).

Now, since the deal has fallen through, the share price can settle back to what it was. It may suffer a small dip because some investors from outside this area hoped to make a quick buck and now just want to sell. This is entirely expected and has happened after almost all failed takeovers in history, in any industry.

Wow, how much do you own? You might want to diversify, lol.

That's what she said.

OOOHH snap, crackle and pop. we just totally Pwnasuarus rexed that headline!

This would give EA extra leverage. T2 has nothing on the horizon that could count as a share bolstering device. They are mostly a one property publisher (GTA). This isn't a stock that's going to miraculously rebound, this is likely its real value. Stock prices are usually valued between real values and the proposed buyout value and only increase to actual buyout price when the deal is finalized.

Bah, that's back-loaded, not back-backloaded. I need to master my spellcheck.
