I used to think that too. But I heard from a knowledgeable person that its actually the correct way to do a merger. You dissolve the corp then reincorporate it.
I had one stock do just that. SODE was on NV SOS 2016. It dissolved. Then started up on CO SOS with a merger right after.
Though most of the time dissolution mean by by and co is going dark or going to be deleted by Finra sooner or later. But if they had a RM in mind the dissolution would be the correct route to go. And going to a different SOS would be a good indicator that something may be around the corner.
Your stock trades are your own responsibility. No one forces you to make the trade. Always take responsibility for your own decisions and you will never have anyone else to blame
