Excessive stock/excessive shares are the same thing, IMO. Paper that represents some percentage of the valuation of the assets and business of the company…..the more that you print the less that each share represents of the ownership of those assets. Intrinsic value baseline is the actual value of the company at some point in time including physical assets and business revenue stream averaged over some time period….say 1 year. Personally, yes….I would like to see a reverse stock split, or a dividend payment that insures some guaranteed % return for investing and lending the company my money with which they conduct business. Do you buy investment CD’s without expecting a guaranteed return on the money you lend a bank? I think a dividend would insure that institutions would hold their stock because they would be receiving a return on their huge share positions.
