I here this argument all the time...I think The Future (poster) does this quite a bit when discussing notes maturing. They say something like...just 18 million or just 82 million, etc. They will say that is only 2% increase or whatever small % it is. Do people actually view 82 million increase in O/S that way? How does anyone think the %'s get so low? The company keeps increasing A/S...just think when/if the A/S gets increased to 4.5 billion. It will be humorous when the company dilutes 100 million shares and a long says...it is only 100,000,000 more shares. That is only 2% of the A/S. What do you think these investors where saying when the A/S was only 1.5 billion or 2.5 billion etc. At some point shareholders HAVE TO DEMAND that they quit getting taken advantage of!
