yep

They're doing it to make money. That's the point of offering it to investors at a discount. The thwarting is just a side effect of the transaction for them.

It's fine that you don't get this, but Musk definitely should.

Nobody is making money by diluting the stock price they simple create more shares of a stock that has the same book value. If they could have made money doing this, they would have done so long before now since it's a pig of a investment as currently configured. If vanguards only interest is in suppressing free speech time to dump Vanguard.

Oh, wow. OK. So we need to go REALLY basic here.

Buy low, sell high, you make money. You with me so far?

So when a stock price crashes, you buy it, then it goes back up later, you've made money. How are you doing up to this point?

Again, though, the important thing to note here is: Vanguard know this. You don't have to. You could have misconceptions about this for the rest of your life for all the difference it makes. What's important here is, Vanguard understands how to make money in this situation. Twitter understands that it protects them from Musk. And Musk should understand it too. He should know better. He should know that this juvenile nonsense has been a complete waste of his time.

in order to sell at the high, there has to be upward movement of the stock price which has not happened at twitter for three years...the only exceptions being upward movement that was triggered by Musks purchase and again by vanguards. Its a pig of a stock that will lose value as soon as one of the two have no further interest. vanguard can make money if they sell to Musk otherwise they will lose money since they bought after musks purchase.

They bought it at a discount. They can sell at the normal price, pretty much whenever they want to.

Take your time and use your calculator.

they did not get a discount, 1) the pill has not been enacted 2).they cannot sell whenever they wish they have to hold the stock when and if the poison pill is enacted, because it would crash the stock price and make Musk's offer seem even better. Even if they do enact the pill it will kill the stock price since the book value per share will decrease dramatically many more shares compared to miniature book value increase as a result of discount.

Take your time and use your calculator.

Did you get exposed to lead as a child?
