Notice that the outstanding has increased by 1,427,740,100 shares (62%). But to be truly dilutive, they'd have to hit the float. Surely most of those shares are still in the proverbial strong hands, right? I can't believe I'm saying this, but something just has to be wrong with the numbers for the float. 2,304,576,805 - 690,000,000 = 1,614,576,805 -- a 234% increase! That means, theoretically, every single newly authorized share was dumped... and then some... all in the past month... during the time the company was touting a share buyback period. That's Dilution with a capital "D". If those shares were issued to pay for acquisitions, given that the PRs claimed all related financing would not be dilutive, that's Fraud with a capital "F".

To make matters worse, we have people like Hollen running around telling everyone it's naked shorts. And the sheep believe it. How sad.

I fully expect it will be all hands to the pump today. The "explanations" on RB of why it was A Good thing to see such a huge increase were truly astounding. However, for some of the former faithful there has been an epiphany.

I hope they are now asking themselves the very real questions "Was I lied to?" and "Was I played?". I mean, if "we" knew the numbers, can anyone say with a straight face "they" didn't know them?
