The company that is doing the buying goes DOWN and the company that is being bought GOES UP.

Really is that the way it works? I thought that when an acquisition increases shareholder value then it was reflected in the stock. I seem to remember the word accretive being used in those situations where the acquiring company receives immediate benefit in earnings from the acquired company.

Certainly when the acquiring company overpays for an asset and say dilutes shareholder value then you can expect that the stock will go down.

But that is an interesting attempt at explaining the current price action.
