Yes. The Transfer Agent for almost every stock is listed on Pinksheets.com under the Company Info tab. If you Google (record) and then call the T-A every month or so, you can ask what the A/S, O/S and float currently is. If the O/S value increases, then more already issued shares have been released from the company treasury into the marketplace. In most cases this is done to accomplish new acquisitons, pay for accounting/legal services, provide incentives to new executives, etc., vs. borrowing money from the greedy and often corrupt capital markets serving small companies. This may or may not be dilutive depnding on Holding/Selling by the recipient(s). Using shares to pay for stock promotions (pumps) has been or is being discouraged/disapproved to the best of my recollection. Those 'gimme-shares' shares have traditionally been dumped into the promo hype by the recipients who are generally tranistory and don't give a rat's tush about the company.

If a company is under mass attack by Shorters/Hedgies/BashHoles, etc., managment may 'gag' the T-A, in which case you have to get the info from the company. If the comnpany is not under attack and the T-A is gagged and the company won't give you definitive info either, that should raise red flags.

An S-8 is required if they are registering new shares (previously unregistered) against the current A/S. This is technically dilutive, unless the results of doing so drives the PPS up.

If the A/S is increased, I think that requires a PR as it is a "significant event" in the fiduciary sense. This is technically dilutive, unless the results of doing so drives the PPS up.
