o.k. I have one simple question: If the so called "free trade agreements" which our trade "specialists" have struck for us are soooooooooooooooooo good for the U.S. and American workers, why is it that we are suffering from a chronic trade deficit which will probably come close to 1/2 of a trillion dollars (that is right) next year? Is everyone here brain dead? Everyone has their own agenda. The very last priority is "what is in the best interests of our country?". I feel so sad for opur children.

What the hell are YOU talking about. Company stock is an asset? "What happens when all the company stock is gone?" Company sell stocks just like government print money. Get it? It is a dilution (or in the case of government, inflation.) When company stock goes from 1 million shares to 2 million shares. The company lose nothing. The shareholder value is halved. Get it? The company do not own the stock. Shareholders do. Giving you a few million stocks will not change company fundamentals but will make each share worth less. So without a good reason, the shareholders will not approve it. Sorry. Tim
