And this.

"Connecting the dots on the trends of this stock, a few things have raised concerns. As we seen with the news of the MD buy, the financials were delayed and put off and details were not to transparent, until after the reports were out. We seen somewhere in the range of 1/3rd of the deal was paid for with normal funds, while the other 2/3RDS were financed with equity. One thing we seen was the financials were released after being pumped, which is to be expected. But the unexpected factor was an immedial 12.3 million share dilution during the feeding frenzy. (12 million shares sold in the teens, low twenties equals in the 2 million dollar range, if this is true, the remaining 2 million has been paid thanks to the investors)My best guess was the sudden increase in shares was the MD deal being financed in the midst of the buying frenzy , thats why the price brick walled and just couldnt climb pas .31. Now we just seen 400k insider shares being sold instead of being held during another upward push. This makes me weary of the next 2 aquisitions as if this is indeed true, any foreward push will be quickly diluted to pay for them. Just my thoughts, draw your own conclusions and invest smart! "

INFO from Verizon's recent purchase of 45% of Verizon Wireless from Vodafone. Please notice some of the details in BOLD.

Verizon Communications has reached an agreement to buy Vodafone Group's 45 percent stake in its Verizon Wireless subsidiary for $130 billion. Under the deal, Verizon will take 100 percent ownership of the wireless unit, the largest mobile operator in the U.S.

"As a wholly owned entity, Verizon Wireless will be better equipped to take advantage of the changing competitive dynamics in the market and capitalize on the continuing evolution of consumer demand for wireless, video, and broadband services," Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam said in a press release.

The transaction has been unanimously approved by the boards of both companies and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014, subject to customary regulatory approvals. Verizon will pay a combination of cash and stock for Vodafone's stake.

Verizon has sought to buy out its wireless business, originally formed as a joint venture with Vodafone, for several years. The transaction is unlikely to have a significant impact on U.S. mobile consumers, industry analysts said last week. Vodafone may use the huge windfall to buy smaller carriers and further its pursuit of wireline operations, analysts said.

Verizon will pay Vodafone $58.9 billion in cash, financed by a $61 billion bridge credit arrangement from a group of investment banks. It plans to reduce its commitments under that arrangement later by issuing permanent financing. The company will also issue common stock currently valued at about $60 billion to be distributed to Vodafone shareholders, and will issue $5 billion in notes payable to Vodafone. Verizon will sell its 23.1 percent minority stake in Vodafone Omnitel, an Italian mobile operator, to Vodafone for $3.5 billion. The rest of the transaction will be a combination of other considerations, the release said.

Verizon was willing to pay a sky-high price for Vodafone's stake because of the strategic importance of the deal, said Chetan Sharma, founder and president of Chetan Sharma Consulting. "They will be in control of their own destiny and they clearly believe in their future and that the stake will be worth a lot more in a few years," Sharma said.

Because Verizon stock will make up part of the deal, it's a good one for Vodafone, said analyst Roger Entner of Recon Analytics. "This transaction shows continued faith about the outperformance of of Verizon Wireless and the U.S. wireless market in general," Entner said. "It also allows Vodafone to continue to participate in the upside in the U.S."





OK...so as I know is the case with Solar3D and the SUNworks purchase and the Solar3D and MDE purchase and any future purchases moving forward all you need to do is replace Verizon with Solar3D and Vodafone with either SUNworks or MDE and the case is exactly the same. Does anyone on here follow large cap stocks????? I just can't believe that people think this is anything out of the norm for how a quality company GROWS!!!
