Dell actually got acquired very recently. Google did the weird Alphabet thing. Apple had the entire NeXT saga.<p>It&#x27;s not likely to happen <i>soon</i>, but unless you&#x27;re a &quot;fool&quot; or someone who makes their money on foolishness arbitrage (which, again, you can do without being zero-sum), that&#x27;s not the point of stocks, anyway. Buy a bunch and leave it alone until you retire.
