TRC Capital looks to buy less than 1 percent of the chipmaker's outstanding shares at below its current market value.

below market value???

I'm not the smartest investor out there by any stretch but why on earth would anyone sell their shares at below market value? on top of that - how on earth are people buying stock without knowing the price, p/e or growth potential? its like buying a car and then selling it for 1/2 price the next day because someone offered to buy it. its not like berkshire shares that so few people can afford them or something!!

The first thought that came to my mind was that perhaps institutional

investors (eg mutual funds) may want to offload some shares without triggering a decline by putting a huge block on sale. But this offer looks more fishy than that.

Re: Below market value???

It seems like just another of a million attempts to take advantage of people.

I agree that people probably shouldn't be investing without some knowledge of what they're doing, however, it doesn't give a company the right to try to take advantage of people's lack of knowledge.

Action like this should be outright illegal.
