Definitely flies. YOu know, hiding expenses in stock issues. They have done a deal with AOL similar to a deal TALK did before. You know, selling stock and compensating for the difference. Spiralling is entirely possible. America Online, for example, took $20 million and 3.9 million shares of stock to sign a massive marketing deal. But AOL also extracted a guarantee from Homestore that the stock will get to $68.50 by the third, fourth and fifth year of the agreement. If it doesn't, Homestore has agreed to pay AOL the difference. From AOL's perspective, it's a no-lose arrangement; if the stock goes to $100, AOL wins; if the stock goes to $10, AOL still gets a cash or stock payment of $68.50 a share.
