Beginner investment question - I may be about to answer this myself but am unsure; if you own shares in a company can a 3rd party buy them off you without you having a say even if it is just a shareholder vote?
I've just had this happen and was a bit surprised as I would rather not have sold my shares.
Possible solutions off the top of my head:
1 - when I say "own" I mean purchased on Trading212 (real money investing). Is it actually that you don't own the shares on T212, they do so can make the decision?
2 - or is it if you're a tiny minority shareholder & the buyer was already a majority shareholder, they essentially did the vote & voted it through themselves?
