      Never set your limits at round numbers. Buy at 1.01 instead.

          OK, quick question. If I buy shares at say £1.50, and then one of the big banks come along and buys out the bank for say the equivilant of £1/share, what happens to the value of my shares?

            For a bank to buy NR at £1 a share, 75% of the shareholders have to agree that that is an acceptable price and then that is what the value of your shares will be too.

              Indeed. Make sure you buy at least 26% of the shares, then you don't have to sell at £1.
