There is no way to know for sure until they file or if you are psychic. Of course, you will see posts that predict this or that and others who make it up as they go along. I know of one wormie blogger who predicted .001, and who makes up lies as he goes along, who is likely having a relapse, facing the day with great fear, humiliation, embarrassment and anger, all of which are substantial and enduring and for which he has been required to seek medical attention. His distress is severe in the sense that it is substantial and enduring as distinguished from trivial or transitory. His resulting emotional trauma has exhibited itself in the following physical manifestations: hypertension and elevated blood pressure, headaches, bloody bowels, inability to sleep, nervous tics, stuttering, and inability to focus attention.

Yes. The Transfer Agent for almost every stock is listed on Pinksheets.com under the Company Info tab. If you Google (record) and then call the T-A every month or so, you can ask what the A/S, O/S and float currently is. If the O/S value increases, then more already issued shares have been released from the company treasury into the marketplace. In most cases this is done to accomplish new acquisitons, pay for accounting/legal services, provide incentives to new executives, etc., vs. borrowing money from the greedy and often corrupt capital markets serving small companies. This may or may not be dilutive depnding on Holding/Selling by the recipient(s). Using shares to pay for stock promotions (pumps) has been or is being discouraged/disapproved to the best of my recollection. Those 'gimme-shares' shares have traditionally been dumped into the promo hype by the recipients who are generally tranistory and don't give a rat's tush about the company. If a company is under mass attack by Shorters/Hedgies/BashHoles, etc., managment may 'gag' the T-A, in which case you have to get the info from the company. If the comnpany is not under attack and the T-A is gagged and the company won't give you definitive info either, that should raise red flags. An S-8 is required if they are registering new shares (previously unregistered) against the current A/S. This is technically dilutive, unless the results of doing so drives the PPS up. If the A/S is increased, I think that requires a PR as it is a "significant event" in the fiduciary sense. This is technically dilutive, unless the results of doing so drives the PPS up. John :-) .
