Plus, don't forget the shares owned by people working for BRCM. I would think they would go the way Samueli and Nicholas go.

One thing: Is BRCM perhaps buying too many companies and spreading themselves thin? By purchasing companies with stock, will this somehow dilute their overall ownership in BRCM and leave them vulnerable to being bought out themselves? (Maybe someone can respond and give me a little lesson on how business works here.)

I've never quite figured out why, when you purchase another company, that the money spent is considered on the bottom line as a loss. It would seem you are transferring one asset (cash or stocks) into another (a company).

When you keep buying companies, it cuts your profits and thus doesn't make your company look so profitable.

Of course, when the companies contribute to the bottom line down the road, I guess it more than evens out.....
