<< In JYHO, was the USRX aquisition a bad idea to start with or was it just executed and/or timed badly and COMS did not look at USRX hard enough during their due diligence? >> It would have been a better idea if they would have let USRX fall flat on it's face first. Then maybe they could have got them for half the price. << Would you look more positively at COMS today if they had refrained from the USRX take-over? >> Well, I would think that they were a little smarter for not wasting $8 billion (not cash!) on a troubled company.
