Alright, I am brand new to the stock market and I have a some questions. First off, I am thinking of buying a stock from a company that is about to merge but I'm curious to know if after the merge, will my stock still be sellable? and is there a website that would show me a certain stock's history for free or do I have to pay for their services?
(These question may not make sense.. I just don't know.. )

to answer your first queshtion, if you buy stock in a company who is about to merge, say XM radio, your shares will more than likely be adjusted to the new company name, or you will be rewarded cash after the new company buys your shares from you. Also, there are many good websites out there to look up stock performance. Yahoo Finance is a great one, MSN Money is good, and Bloomberg is also another favorite of mine. I get lost for hours on these sites, its easy to do.
good luck to you!

I can only answer the question about the merge. Usually stocks will go up if a company is bought out (both companies will see an increase in value.
