Shares are at a low now, plus its a healthy company with a long future that pays great dividends. Thats the type of investment smart investors are looking for and is the reasons those with millions of shares are interested in a buyout for shares if its a company like Pfizer.
Last comment about us taking our profit and just buying shares. That is a dumb suggestion, dumb, dumb, dumb. To invest hundreds of thousands to a few million dollars of cash into PFE one would certainly affect share price. A buyout for shares is an instantaneous transfer at a fixed price. Definitely saves money and time (and my time has a good bit of value to me).
