Limited company will here mean limited liability, not limited "buy-out' or whatever. Steve Jobs can buy Nokia tomorrow, if he has enough cash, and is able to find enough sellers so he can get a controlling stake in Nokia. You are not forced to sell shares unless certain criteria are met - like: when Job's ownership of Nokia reaches a certain percentage, he lawfully demand the remaining share-holders to sell to him. Dunno where that limit is for a Finnish Oyj though.

Anyways, likelyhood of Jobs ever buying Nokia? <0.

For the rest of us it could be the right time to buy:
