Re: It answers my question perfectly. Now the question for the AOL threadsters is this...

Why would a company with 1.8 billion shares seek to increase the outstanding shares to 6 billion? Gonna buy Japan? Microsoft? P&G? What would take that many shares?


Simple answer.......when a $20 bill (leverage) is laid beside another $20 bill (new leverage) you then have $40 (worth of leverage).

I leverage business deals myself in this manor. Banks love it!

You are assuming that AOL is not going to spend it's new leverage wisely so I invite you to use all of your resources and buy AOL puts and ride them into this Christmas season.
