Don’t promise “nothing will change.” Transparency builds trust. Address employees’ real concerns — job security, benefits and leadership — to preserve the value you bought.

If you’ve been following my articles, no doubt you’ve detected at least one theme — that day trading is less about the stock in question, and much more about what’s between your ears…and the ears of other traders.
