authorized, issued, outstanding, shares explained Authorized: 100,000,000 A company states to it's shareholders the potential exists for them to issue stock to attract executive talent, expand employee perks, and pay for aquisitions. These shares in essense are free money to the company, as long as they manage to fight the obvious earnings dilution, which is harder to quantify on a stock with a no P/E. Issued: 30,000,000 Now the company has actually made shares available that are factored into the earnings as the denominator that will effect dilution. The issued shares are often held by "insiders" of the company who are usually required not to sell them for a certain period, like 6 months. Outstanding: 12,000,000 or "floated" shares are those that have not only been issued, but are also released from the restrictions that may have kept the insiders from being able to sell, and these shares are free to trade daily in the open market. Any college student remark was aimed at Gambler specifically and not the general college student population; Sorry about that. Well, I've wasted enough time pointing out the folly of you all playing right into the hands of this companies insiders by helping them raise capitol out of worthless paper. Now I'll just buy some shares over the next few days, and leave you Hypsters to make money for me. Good Riddence...
