First off let me say that I don't necessarily want to be bought out... OK?
As far as DOW's share price is concerned... I'm not sure that they would go up because of their purchase of EESO and depending on what they pay (imho) for eeso then it could dip a bit... Regardless it is my understanding and also my opinion that In that scenario... (With Jared Remaining on for the future...) The number of DOW Shares we would get would be equivilent to the value that DOW pays for EESO... Whatever that ends up being? Depending on contracts, future contracts, potential etc... etc... It could be anywhere from .25 a share of eeso to .50 cents? or more maybe?... Divide the share price of DOW Chemical by the value of your shares at the time of the deal and you have your number of shares of DOW...
Now... Of course DOW stock is the lowest it's been in a very very long time... so at these prices we'd be making out like bandits to hold DOW for the long term... DOW is going nowhere it's the backbone of the chemical application busines in this world... The dividend will only get better (They just cut it due to the economic crisis... this is a high yielding company historically) and the share price will follow us out of this economy...
Again... I truely believe there are obstacles in any deal and there are obstacles here too... We will find out after the fact how close we did or didn't come to making this thing happen.. down the line...
There is nowhere I'd rather have my money right now then right where it is... I say this because I know what I own... That's it... Don't be impatient fast food eating american idol watching... monster truck driving americans here... there are people that have your best interests in mind... Don't get greedy and don't panic... this is going to be a little bit of time and the world will NOT be your Oyster come Monday morning...
Patience kiddies... and of course this is ALL (IMHO) What's your opinion? Where do you want to see this baby go? I know I want to retire because of my patience and strength with this company... You own a start-up company that has multiple offers from Very big Companies... You OWN IT! Hold on to it... It will serve you well... again (IMHO) ;)
Best
