I will admit I am not a bookkeeper. I don't really understand what the heck goodwill is. I do however understand that the cost of the deal is $30 cash and .945 shares of stock regardless of price. Perhaps you would be good enough to explain in detail what effect the difference in price has on CPQ earnings.

It looks like my observation has made some waves. Good. If CPQ is trading at 50 I sure like the looks of .945 of 50 than that of 23. It seems to be easy math. With higher prices you make more money! However with lower prices you tend to become LONGTERM holders. Interesting is it not.

All I am doing is stretching the imagination, looking at unlooked at situations, trying to figure out the big picture.
