Let me get this right, Capcom opened up shares to get more money and people read that as they're for sale?


If someone buys enough shares, they own them, but if they don't own the majority, they don't. So it could mean they are, but it also could mean that they are in need of money. 

Yes that's a possibility, someone buying up 100% shares, but for that to happen people have to sell them.  The most likely scenario is a single entity owning a 51% or more stake in them.  Which is very different from let's say, Yahoo buying Flickr.  Yahoo bought Flickr and attemped to integrate them into their eco system.  Someone owning 51% of Capcom can just be a shareholder yelling for more profits.
