Nice post Common-cents. I happen to agree strongly with your buyout sentiment. I think it's 90/10 we sell or partner versus finance and process.

If we end up being sold, here is a question I have asked myself. Would I rather be cashed out of my stock, or have stock exchanged by the acquiring firm?

As an example of how Corporations value cash, eight years ago, I sold my small freight auditing firm to a corporate entity. They sent in auditors to value the business and then offered cash for that determined value, OR, they offered a thirty percent premium for taking stock in lieu of cash. The caveat, the stock was Series 144 Restricted and I could only sell 20% per year to slow dilution of the share price.

Based on gold's upward price and the big hit one would take for short term capital gains, I would certainly think an exchange would be most beneficial.

Just some thoughts,
