The OP might not get all the shares because all the shares may not be on the stock market. The OP might not be able to buy all the shares because on the stock market the price goes up when there is buying. If buying a large percentage of a company then merger paperwork is required by regulators. And of course, the buy could be a mistake if there is too much company debt or a mistake if the company is quickly spending its cash such that the OP might be making a mistake.
