Its correct... Affluence has had a 4 billion authorized shares for a long time.... many people do not realize but a company will put in a very large AS as a way to deter a hostile take over. Company or very wealthy people can buy up the shares to where they own 51 percent of the shares and then take over a company... if the AS is that high then the company has control of how many shares are out there to prevent that from happening.

The other reason is if your going to grow and your funds are limited you use those shares as collateral... you buy a company and issue them Restricted shares or Preferred shares in place of the cash you dont have.
