Corporate takeovers

Is it? If no minimum is required then we cannot force anybody to give way to us to run the business.  They will say they have more shares, more votes.

If no minimum is required then you and me and a few friends can "gang" up and target one or many companies to take over management.  Can consider this say 10 of us?  Pick a cheap company.  We are not going to strip the co of assets, but we can run/manage the firm/s for everybody's good. Do you think we can generate some good interests among fellow forumers to join force?

If you do not know anybody, you cannot do anything no matter how cash rich you are. Your friends will drift further and further away from you...

What is the minimum % of the stock to own to enable him to comtemplate going into the company for control? Thanks.
