taowu good one!
vi2009 liquidation = how liquid the stock is ... the more popular the stock is in the market the more liquid it is, otherwise there is a liquidity discount
Shalva I got this one wrong .... Interesting concept
qwsx really a awesome q..must admit
rhardin vi2009, this has nothing to do with the "liquidity" of the stock. It has to do with liquidating a company because it is better dissolved then for it to continue in operations.
Roy1 Hmm....Got this wrong.
