Is it possible i can buy the majority of shares in a company and take control?

If you have the cash, maybe, you actually have to have the approval of the CEOs and other higherups of the company. If they don't like you, they don't have to take your money.Is it possible i can buy the majority of shares in a company and take control?
If you've got the cash and they're for sale, then yes.Is it possible i can buy the majority of shares in a company and take control?
Only if the company is publicly traded. You couldn't, for example, walk into the coffee shop down the street, through down X amount of cash, and start telling people what to do. If, on the other hand, that coffee shop WERE publicly traded, you could buy up what's called ';controlling stock'; ... enough shares of the business that you out-vote everyone else.
I don't think so, I am not sure
If you have the cash you can attempt a hostile takeover without approval of the target, assuming insiders don't hold a majority of shares.
