its over-priced

but it the stock price is $50billion then $20billion premium is nothing

Stock is probably over valued as well. Give it a few years and it could be worth half or less.

And a 20bn premium is not nothing.

yes it is overvalued but so is almost every other stock

if you know what zero percent interest has done to the stock market then you won't disagree

facebook is very overvalued,heck whatapps for $20billion was way overvalued,apple is also overvalued

 

$20 billion on top for $50 billion is nromal

 

most companies pay double or even triple the stock price premium in the big aquisitions

Sure, but not when they're at such sizes. Anyway the CEO would've gotten his 5% share of salesforce turned into 5% microsoft stock. His net worth would go from 2.5 billion, all the way to 20 billion. Pretty idiotic turning that down, as salesforce will never make him nearly as much money.
