...but its to do with money so a few of you might be able to help me :)

A general question: how do you find out how much a listed company is worth?

Say, hypothetically, I had wanted to buy Manchester United before Glazer did, how would I have done the research? Obviously I don't have the resources to hire companies to prep me a report, I want to know how I would do that myself.

How would I know how many shares I needed to buy before I took control?

Is there any way of knowing about these "poison pills" that Murdoch is so fond of?

What really is Market Cap?

TIA!

Number of shares in issue multiplied by current share price = market cap!
