richa1, Sorry i am still a free member of iHub so I cannot reply to personal messages. I have been burned with a restricted share dividend before. To me it all depends on what company the restricted shares are for. If it is a pinkie then more then likely they will be worthless by the time the restriction lifts due to dilution. Clearly a majority of pinkies fail, which is why you find more bashers on these boards. I guess they feel better when they can say "I told you this company was a POS", but to me that is like betting the favorite in a horse race and when it wins saying I told you so and cashing in your $2 ticket for $2.20.
If it turns out to be a OTCBB company then it could go either way. If the company has a solid investor base already and the merger of the two companies is deemed by the investing public as an improvement then the shares may increase. If the company succeeds then we might all be sitting on more value then we think. Alot of IFs but isn't that why we are all here.
