slack/WORK - current market cap is $24B, WSJ reporting valuation will be north(hasnāt reported how much north) of $17B & deal with CRM supposed to be announced tomorrow.
Sell or Hold?
ADDED LATER:
Salesforceās deal to buy Slack is expected to be announced Tuesday after markets close, sources told CNBCās David Faber. The deal is expected to be about half cash and half stock, the sources said, and will price Slack at a premium to its current price. Salesforce is set to report quarterly earnings on Tuesday. Shares of Slack rose about 8% Monday on the news. Salesforce shares fell about 1.5%
My guess is current price will be Tuesdayās closing price?
I donāt try to play the acquisition game. Thereās people with far better info than we have.

I sold my piddly holding.
Benioff has done strange things before like buying Mulesoft for a ridiculous amount. Iād be shocked if the acquisition price is in the 50s.

Did you miss a ānotā after the is?
No i think > 50 would be too high to pay.
Slack is a money pit - hasnāt shown any inclination to make profits.

Just FYI: I read the book (as usual) finding the next Starbucks, like that I found TSLA, but missed.
I do not want to miss MRNA now, the company made a break through in Covid medicine and have a huge potential. Even today morning, I bought 300 shares of MRNA at 165 pre-market as expected to go higher (FDA approval is not yet there).

@Jil is in FOMO mode.
MU is also mooning So is SOXX/ SOXL. MU is HOT! because of BIDEN victory. It was depressed because of Trump. The compressed spring is being released - BUY! 4%+ and still going up - beat TSLA. My semi portfolio is leading the other two portfolio by a large margin 
QQQ/ TQQQ are mooning because of AAPL, TSLA and NFLX.
What ābookā is that?? 
On MRNA & BNTX, yes, I was in FOMO mode.
I bought 200 MRNA shares at $94, went up and this is 300 shares at $165.
Similarly, for BNTX, I bought around 200 shares at $86 and now another 100 shares, averaging $105/share.
Yesterday, I bought two leap calls for 2023 expiry 33% up singe day not cashing it. Madly behind MRNA, I do not know right or wrong.
It is true FOMO as there is lot of potential for both companies as they need to eliminate Covid-19 crisis, governments are ready to pay any amount to get this eradicated.
All I know is the stock equities I own plenty are UP! AAPL, QQQ, MU. Those I have little are DOWN.
Edit:
MU up almost 6% 
Itās been incredible last 2-3 weeks especially the options. FOMO is here and maybe weāll last another week or two. I havenāt quantified anything but I havenāt seen premium movements like this ever on the long side. Iāve been cashing out 25% at 2x gain, and another 25% at 3x gains to make sure I donāt get burned. Iāll let others ride for 1-2 weeks and btfd from profit only.

Unfortunately I think I have been cashing out too early. Currently only holding 1/4 of previous size for MU and none of SOXX/ SOXL. And about 30% of previous size for QQQ/ TQQQ.
Through a combination of cash and stock, Salesforce is purchasing Slack for $26.79 a share and .0776 shares of Salesforce, according to a statement. That comes to about $45.86 a share.

since both are linearly related, question is to buy crm or work?
