A Whopper of a Deal – Burger King Stock

By Rick Roman - 2 Sep 2010 1386 0 comment

Private equity firm 3G Capital is really trying to “have it their way”! They are purchasing Burger King in a deal valued at $3.26 billion.

The Burger King stock certificate is one of the more colorful designs with the king himself prominently displayed along with the company’s logo.

Burger King stock shot up on rumors of the takeover which equates to $24 per share. More on the Burger King buyout at Yahoo Finance.

Of course this means that at some point in the near future, the public will not be able to purchase this stock. This is another stock certificate in a growing list that is going away.

We are registering a few certificates in our company name to keep as collectible. If you want to buy Burger King stock we are going to offer a discount available only to our blog readers for $10 OFF using this code “bkblog”.

UPDATE:

Burger King authentic certificates sold out but you can buy other collectible stock certificates at Giveashare.com.
