XOM did a similar deal when they bought XTO (and paid 2X or 3X too much!)... XTO shot up and I sold it all... I had no interest in owning XOM at that time... and still don't... but thx to XOM over paying for XTO, I pocketed a whopping multi-bagger (6 or 8 as I recall): one of the biggest I ever had -- the biggest being AAPL when I bought at split-adjusted $3.51 in '97 and sold it in 08/2008 to start paying for the daughter's college -- sheer luck that I sold in Aug. at $178 as planned all along to liquidate it for her college expenses -- I don't know how many "bags" that is, from $3.51 to $178, but we didn't have to borrow any money for her college!!!
