Another good Investment for Lunsford Investments

Another good Investment for Lunsford Investment.
Here is the Story.

Google Inc. said Friday that it finished its $124.6 million purchase of On2 Technologies Inc. after shareholders of On2 voted to approve the deal.

Google said that as per its agreement with the maker of video compression technology, outstanding On2 common shares will be converted to the right to 15 cents per share and 0.0010 of a share of Google common stock. Cash will be paid in lieu of any fractional shares, Google said.

Google also said it plans to buy back the same number of its shares that it issued through the purchase. The company will fund the buybacks with cash on hand.

When the purchase was announced in August, the companies valued the deal at about $132 million.

Google shares ended regular trading down $2.46 at $540.76.

I did not know of this deal. It was just luck of the draw. On2 Tech was a Investment that I have been looking at for a few weeks. I just wish I would have bought more shares of On2 , before the buy out.

So , now I own a little piece of Google. Thanks Google. Too Bad you did not let me buy more shares of On2 before you took over the company.

Doing Business As a Holding Company

With a outlook on Investments. I have changed on the way I look at stocks. For example I was investing in what I call the Blue Chippers. The big Companies that pays a Dividend to their Shareholders.

Now , I am looking at Small Cap Companies , some people call them Penny Stocks. I however , see these Companies as another way to grow Lunsford Investments . In the long term. Yes , to buy and these companies as I do my Blue Chippers.

For example why is Six Flags trading at .10 cents a share ? I see Six Flags going back up to at-least $2.50. So I bought into Six Flags. Another example would be Midwest Bank. Why , is Midwest trading at .31 cents ? Most Small to Mid Cap Banks trade around $3 to 5 Dollars a share. In my opion. There is On2 Tech , trading at .69 cents a share . I believe this company will be like Sirius XM , and trade above $1.00.

These Companies , will grow and so will Lunsford Investments. For a bonus I will add one more to the list as-well, Blue Jet Airlines. Trading at $5.00 and change , I do believe Blue-Jet will rise to around the $10.00 mark.

Lunsford Investments will Invest in small and large companies , now and in the future.

Owning a Business through Common Stock

Common stock

Common stock is aptly named -- it's the most common form of stock an investor will encounter. This is an ideal investment vehicle for individuals, because anyone can take part; there are absolutely no restrictions on who can purchase common stock -- the young, the old, the savvy, the reckless. Common stock is more than just a piece of paper; it represents a proportional share of ownership in a company -- a stake in a real, living, breathing business. By owning stock -- the most amazing wealth-creation vehicle ever conceived (except for inheriting money from a relative you've never heard of) -- you are a part-owner of a business.

Shareholders "own" a part of the assets of the company and part of the stream of cash those assets generate. As the company acquires more assets and the stream of cash it generates gets larger, the value of the business increases. This increase in the value of the business is what drives up the value of the stock in that business.

Because they own a part of the business, shareholders get a vote to elect the board of directors. The board is a group of individuals who oversee major decisions the company makes. They tend to wield a lot of power in corporate America. Boards decide whether a company will invest in itself, buy other companies, pay a dividend, or repurchase stock. Top company management will give some advice, but the board makes the final decision. The board even has the power to hire and fire those managers.

As with most things in life, the potential reward from owning stock in a growing business has some possible pitfalls. Shareholders also get a full share of the risk inherent in operating the business. If things go bad, their shares of stock may decrease in value. They could even end up being worthless if the company goes bankrupt.
