They certainly left the door open for that by saying "they expect banks to finance 50% of an acquisition." But, based on previous interviews, I do not think they will do more than ~10 to 20% dilution. They have a nice level cash and should use it. They talked about a $20M upper limit. So, the bank does $10M, $BOSC could spend $5M in cash, and then issue ~1M shares. I am still on the sideline here, but watching. However, if they are not crying wolf again, it's interesting and cheap enough to wait and see for a bit.

$WMT talking about investing heavily to lower prices with the bulk hitting at the end of Q2 and the real impact to be seen in Q3 and Q4....how is that not a negative for $TGT? Consumer incremental weaker according to wmt mgmt and while TGT has stepped over low comps, and created some traction with new assortment at current prices (17x next year on 3% growth and actually declining earnings yoy) very difficult to argue Target is cheap and isn't going to be threatened by new price competition for tighter wallets across WMT and TJX
