Well eBay is after all a big company and I expect it is run like one. Doing a big dilutive acquisition certainly sends a message to those inside. Guys who start firms like PayPal and Skype seem unlikely to want to work for such an outfit. The company seems to be stuck with a so-so positioning in the market and with investors. What are they?

You would think EBay would have had $2B worth of planning written in harder stone. This would concern me greatly as an investor, because the shuffle shouts messages of uncertainty or questionability. Not what I want to hear from a diluted stock.
