Dave, if I recall correctly, the secondary offering actually dropped the book value PER SHARE slightly. I use book value per share as a measure because it tracks changes in shareholder wealth, which to my mind is a better way to understand the value of this type of investment to the individual shareholder.

In a fast growing business, a company that pays no dividends and plows all its earnings back into research and the building of new plants can not benefit its shareholders unless it can show it is building shareholder wealth. At some point, the intrinsic value of the company, as evidenced by its growth in book value per share and earnings per share, will be reflected in the market price for the stock.
