Hello Scott, I understand and will respect your rules on the thread. However, I do feel that the person in question can do great harm to folks that buy the absurdity that I have seen on other threads. It is very irresponsible and miss leading while presented with a tone of great knowledge and experience. If you investigated even just a little you would understand my position towards this person. I do apologize for my post, I have great respect for what is said on this thread and hope it remains in my opinion,... one of extremely high credibility Last said also.... Greg

Scott I wonder if you can answer a business question regarding a company I currently am invested in. Some background: Name:CDIC Cardiodynamics Financial health:low assets, good product, long term funds available to support marketing. Previous: company came out of bankruptcy in 1992, received FDA 501 clearances on 3 new products in 1997 and 1998 with real revenue yet to be realized. I believe the current quarter will show a substantial increase in revenue , if not finally break even eps. My Question(finnaly) is on July 23 the stockholders have to vote on an 18mil preferred share authorization. Currently there are 50mil shares of common stock, of which 32mil are outstanding. It is being presented as a "poison pill". Do such authorizations typically hurt a company's financial profile and lead to a decline in stock price? I understand there is no dilution in eps unless they are issued. Note: both the CEO who joined the company in 1997 Q4 and at least one of the board are both from the same company that were bought out and I believe CDIC is an easy buyout candidate. Thanks for any help Sandbag
