Rite Aid's $RAD merger with Albertsons is far from assured. Small time investors - yes, even those holding 10,000 shares or more - cannot assume they may mock the board into submission. Voting against the deal counts.User Kuttingedge rationalises ignoring the online posters encouraging RAD holders to sell now :If you're trading penny moves on RAD to lower your basis rather than putting your money into something with more potential. Ok[ay] $RAD, Rite Aid Corporation / H1 Yet you encourage those No voters wrapped in the soap opera to sell now for a small amount of risk of loss going forward, guaranteeing 100% their risk of no upside potential or minimization of losses should positive developments evolve. And who are they selling to? You? Cerberus? Company trolls looking for yes votes? This stock has probably stabilized right where it is based on the market's value for Albertsons, give or take a few cents. If someone other than a pure trade player was going to sell, he would have done so by now. Long term holders and those who believe RAD has a better future as a standalone aren't selling. They are waiting for the proxy to vote against this hogwash. So if you're a company advocate for the deal, fine. That's your choice. But recommending people sell at a loss to avoid the drama when the curtain on this comedy hasn't gone up yet seems somewhat disingenuous to me. I'll sell you one share for $3, and the second for $3. That seems like a deal for me.....$RAD PT $3.00? Maybe $2.00 is a more viable price target which still gives a decent double-digit return.
