Probably the NasDaq website numbers are just incomplete ! They show 570 mio. Total Shares Held Before the merger, we had ca. 480 mio. IIRC, so that TSH # is ca. 18.8 % increase, i.e. ca. 90 mio. more shares !! I guess the 118.8% came from using the 570 mio. and the 480 mio. in 2 diffferent calculations, that's all ! nasdaq.com

I must have missed something. How could insti ownership be above 100%? /Petz Have you listened to The Darkside presentation about naked short selling ? One could imagine that the WS crooks got too greedy and "printed" too many counterfeit AMD shares. So, now a few big stock holders can tally up the shares between them, and come up with more than a 100% of shares ever issued. If it's indeed the case, how will the SEC crooks resolve this ? Suppose the instis refuse to sell at any price ? It's probably just an error, but the alternative and its implications is "fun" to speculate about, I think.
