OT .. The dilution reduces shareholder % of ownership. If you are going to use market price to quantify that dilution you must show the decrease in market price caused by the increase in number of outstanding shares.

I agree. However, the market price decrease due to dilution is impossible to measure when dilution is 2%/year and annual stock price volatility is 75%/year, as in the FY2001 for QCOM.

Might work for mergers though, particularly mergers of equals.
