I’ve never invested on my own, and I am not familiar on how things work. I am wondering what would happen if I were to invest in say wamu, and they were to get bought out. Would my shares just get bought out also, or would it depend on if the new owners/ management planned on absorbing the company or just restructuring it.

There is another post (What happens to a company’s stock if they are bought out) that might be of some help.
In general, if you bought the shares now, and a company offers to buy out the company, you would get the offer price this new company is willing to pay. I think you would just get money for your shares if it’s a pure buy out.

You would just get the offered price and you would be out of WAMU. If you still wanted exposure to WAMU after they got bought out you can just buy shares of the new firm. All of this info should be avalable from any broker you chose to use.
