ACE, since you seem to know so much, a quick question - would the $xx/share for Cali go directly to the shareholders or to the company? My understanding is that these two scenarios will result in different share appreciation.

When a company sells bits of itself it does not automatically declare a special dividend. In fact, doing so would imply they have no idea how to put the windfall to produtive use - definitely a negative! By the same token, if the Company goes shopping and buys another Company it does not present shareholders with a bill, it merely dilutes shareholder equity. Hope that helps.
