    Roulette anyone?
    Wait, if you're saying that both companies are overvalued (which you are/have), then why does it matter if the stock market is at an all time high? If the market capitalisation for both was, for example, 40% lower that it was yesterday, it would still be roughly the same stock transaction.

    Not sure you'll understand this, as its clear you don't even understand the difference between an all-stock-transaction buyout and a cash purchase.

    So AMD hadn’t “ dried up their cash reserves” as you’ve claimed above, yes or no?

    In a moment of extraordinary exuberance AMD just dried up their cash reserves at a time of uncertainty with a purchase of a dent laden company.

    Chip dealmaking ramps up with AMD’s $35bn takeover of Xilinx
    From the article -

    “Advanced Micro Devices has agreed to buy rival Californian chipmaker Xilinx in a $35bn all-stock transaction, taking the value of semiconductor dealmaking to more than $100bn in 2020 in a blockbuster year for the sector.”

    Advanced Micro Devices has agreed to buy rival Californian chipmaker Xilinx in a $35bn all-stock transaction, taking the value of semiconductor dealmaking to more than $100bn in 2020 in a blockbuster year for the sector.

    AMD’s deal, its largest acquisition to date, will boost its ambitions to become a data centre powerhouse and create a combined company with 13,000 engineers and more than $2.7bn in annual research and development spending.
