So, what do people think of the opportunity of buying TWTR right now for an expected 6.6% short term capital gain in about 5 months when the deal goes through? It's an almost guaranteed 13% annualized income, versus a probably 50% loss if the deal falls apart.
Thinking it’s a bad play unless small shareholders are allowed to retain ownership through privatization and IPO. I would guess management would find it inconvenient to have to deal with 10,000 $100k small fry owners, even though that would raise $1B. Presumably Ellison and the institutions within the $7B have that opportunity.
