		Murdock's low-ball bid for Dole may ultimately prevail.
		If money talks, then last week David Murdock, chairman of the Westlake Villagebased Dole Food Co., made the most explicit commentary possible that a skittish Wall Street is undervaluing stocks: He offered more than a 20 percent premium to buy the 75.9 percent of Dole that he doesn't already own.
		By that measure, Murdock's bid is a tad on the low side -- and Wall Street early last week seemed to concur, with traders pushing Dole's stock up past $30 a share.
