Will the stock take off right away? Will everything get completed on schedule? Will the market react right away even if things get completed?
People sell cause they are looking at a cash offer. Will that cash offer come around real soon again? The market will show. Everyone takes a chance.
So some buy now... because it's speculation. Some sell now because they can get some cash now... and when will they next get the cash offer. They may need the money now, and don't want to chance it that it could be awhile before the can sell again.
Just different reasons to buy or sell now.
GOLD VALUES GOING UP!!! YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR!!!
