Fair enough. But look at the 18m chart: http://www.nasdaq.com/aspx/chartingbasics.aspx?intraday=off&timeframe=18m&charttype=ohlc&splits=off&earnings=off&movingaverage=None&lowerstudy=volume&comparison=off&index=&drilldown=off&symbol=NWMT&selected=NWMT Where stops the dilution and where starts the shorting? According to the most recent 10-Q: 300,000,000 shares authorized. 258,191,688 shares issued and outstanding at June 30, 2010 109,466,045 shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2009 What happened after June 30, 2010 ? For the second time in its history, NWMT is heading towards its maximum authorized shares. Just some DD based on the filings.
