    Hello,

    I have found Tim's You Tube videos extremely helpful and educating, and I really appreciate the lengths you must have gone too. As a layman its been great to be able to digest jargon and complex information in a piece meal fashion.

    I find myself a Robert Wiseman shareholder ( I know, lucky me) However I am unsure of takeovers, what they involve, and what it means to me?

    I am fairly new to the stock market and I'm sure many others are too. If you were able to explain it to us, I'm sure many would appreciate it.

    Many thanks

    Interesting but how do the market makers calculate the prices to buy and sell? Or is it down to supply and demand.
