Thomas, The discussion was on authorized shares not shares outstanding. Surely, you understand the difference? <GG> As for dilutive affects from shares given out as compensation, just about every company I have ever followed shows the same trend. This dilution is insignificant and well worth retaining the current talent and attracting new talent. FF

They are diluting their stock. Show me a multi-billion dollar technology company that doesn't have a 401K or stock option plan (the reason for the above adjustments in float) and I'll eat my hat. ;-) Surely you understand this? And by the way....the shares outstanding remain static and do not increase except in well-publicized notices to the shareholders, such as a split. Surely, as a shareholder who has done their due diligence you know this?? -g- Surely, as it appears you may be a shareholder of something [shiver], you may want to explore a nice little CD until you pick up a few core facts on investing....for due diligence means nothing if ignorance of the basics of investing clouds the overall picture.
