Pat and all
I've been very neglectful about posting the final numbers. SORRY.
Here they are:
162 People or groups reporting 3,744,610 FTEL shares 1,608,300 FNET shares
That is 23% of the total shares outstanding and 34% of the total reported float.
(if we take a real leap of faith and say that all of the people who did not report this year but did last year still have the same number of shares, then we have 5,452,447 total FTEL - which is 34% of total shares outstanding and 49% of the reported float!!!! AND, I know people who have shares who declined to report... so that number could be over 50% of the total float!) (but then again, maybe the reason they didn't report was because they are no longer shareholders.... who knows)
The average number of shares per report: 23,115 (up 3,000 from last year)
At today's closing price (bid) of $2.50, that is: $57,787 per average shareholder in FTEL value $9,361,000 -- total reported shareholder value.
This year, there were 7 reporting over 100,000 shares of FTEL. Last year there were only 5.
This year the highest number of FTEL shares was over 250,000 shares - again no names... and it wasn't whom you might think it was. We didn't have anyone report more than 150,000 shares last year.
There were 15 reports of 1,000 shares or less. Two reports with the lowest number of 200 shares. I really appreciate these people. They had pride in taking the time to send in their totals even tho some would consider them not worth counting... they were definately worth counting and I thank them for taking the time. Every share counts!
As you can see, there is an extremely strong set of shareholders out there reading SI and Yahoo!
If any of you did not report and still want to, please send me email (maunger@iname.com) and I will include your numbers and update this post as necessary! IT IS NOT TOO LATE.
My many thanks to all who sent in their information.
For those of you who wondered about the accuracy of the data coming to me, I am assuming it is correct - or at least most of it is. I can guess that the information was sent mostly in honesty because many of the numbers matched exactly from what I got from individuals last year... which means they are sending me real data OR they are good at remembering their lies....ggg
I know some who did not send their information declined because they thought the data I was getting would be completly false, but it seemed to me that honesty prevailed...
Does that make anyone else want to send me the info??? PLEASE?
THANKS again to everyone... including the patience of those who did not send anything and had to sit thru the posts.
