I don't know how to account for it. But what I have heard is that the inflated stock and the inflated price tag kinda cancel out each other.

Who knows? I don't like to invest in companies that don't pay dividends anyway (except for BRKA/B, because I trust Buffett).

kirk, i read an article on jdsu that said the company management should be held responsible b/c they could have sold their inflated stock for CASH and bought the inflated takeover target for pennies on the dollar and kept a hoard of cash.

i think the answer is that you have to look forward and see where a company is going and are they at the right price now...
