Thread regarding CA Technologies (CA Inc.) layoffs

Are you planning to sell your shares?

Share price is $43.44 today. Wondering if I should 1) sell my shares now (if the acquisition is blocked the share price will tank below $30), or 2) believe that it won't be blocked, hold on to my shares and get $44.50 per share at close.

This acquisition HAS TO go through, otherwise we're all s****ed.

Sell half now (it may be less or more depending on your risk assessment). Buy put options for all or part of remaining shares.

I sold as fast as I could, risk was too big to lose $10 vs gaining 50c. If you’ve waited this long you can probably hold for another few weeks

Done and done. I sold mine months ago. You’re already reaping a 20% premium on something that stagnated for years.

Absolutely not, this is nonsense FUD.

If you're that concerned then buy options.

So there’s like a 3% upside to keeping them and an indeterminate downside. If it were me I’d sell.
