23. If you decided to take over a company by buying out as much

stock as you can get your hands on, you still have to have stockholders who are willing to sell. Often controlling interest stockholders don't want to lose control and won't sell. Also, there is something about hostile takeovers that I'm not familiar with how it works, but I don't know if it would work for the reasons you want. If so, I think someone may have already tried to do so. There's a reason it hasn't happened.
