KURT and Trader G ,And ALL please read this to refresh your selves on the #s Cheryl; > >ÿÿÿÿ Here is the contents of 3 emails that I sent to Bob Hadley > correcting >ÿÿÿÿ and providing more detailed information concerning CSMA. Please post >ÿÿÿÿ the following for those interested: > >ÿÿÿÿ Bob: > >ÿÿÿÿ I would like to provide you with current numbers on CSMA. > >ÿÿÿÿ The number of shares outstanding is 13.2 million after acquisition > of >ÿÿÿÿ LPSL for 7.5 million shares. > >ÿÿÿÿ The number of shares in the float is 2.6 million > >ÿÿÿÿ The number of shares shorted is 700,000. > >ÿÿÿÿ The short squeeze has not occurred yet as posters to SI would have > you >ÿÿÿÿ believe.

Perhaps someone will post it. The >ÿÿÿÿ acquisition was made in exchange for 7.5 M shares of stock of which > 2.6 M are >ÿÿÿÿ tradeable but their cost basis is .55. They are long-term players.
