Brian, at what point does excessive stock available become a liability to shareholders? IMO, it is when demand for a stock is less than the profit return and growth prospects for the company. Dilution of the companys assets and earnings potential by excessive shares available makes the stock worth less. It is like printing excessive dollars, the more that there are the less they are worth when compared with the assets that they represent. There must be an intrinsic value baseline with which to guage relative share price...at some point excessive shares are just paper with diminshing value.
