Vinnie, I know you didn't post this to me, but your message contained something that I would consider to be very important here... "actually, these are out of the float, since I'm not selling" While it is great that you are not selling your shares, the fact that you have bought them does not remove them from the float. Yes, you do own them. But, unless you hold them in certificate form, they will always be part of the available free trading shares. For example, if you call your broker and ask him/her to buy you some shares in WXYZ, your account will indicate the shares as yours. However, if I wanted to short the stock, your shares are still out there and available to me for shorting. The shares you bought will be shown as registered to whatever brokerage house you use, and not necessarily to you individually. Therefore, if your broker choses to loan them to someone to go short, they can and there is nothing you can do about it. I don't think buying and holding will remove your shares from the float. Just my opinion, :-) Binder

I am not going to worry about tallying until after close Friday and start all over again. Clear the slate and then take the emails and total everything up. I know some are selling whatever joking for the best position they can get. It will take a till Friday for most to get about where they want to be. It iwll be fine just a matter of time. It is not going to just fly it has to equalize.

You buy the P for $26.50 you are buying 35 shares of common for an AMSC of $0.77 however you add in the dividend of 50% you will get a half a share of P which equates to 17.5 shares of common. Example: 100 shares of P @ $26.50 = $2,650.00 = .50 AMSC For a long term hold and capitalize on the stock to the max degree this is the buy. Of course it is a long term hold because the existing trading P is Oct 1, 1998 which will automatically convert in your account where the dividend will not but it will convert on Oct 1, 1999.
