Investopedia explains Restricted Stock
Insiders are given restricted stock after merger and acquisition activity, underwriting activity, and affiliate ownership in order to prevent premature selling that might adversely affect the company. Restricted stock cannot be sold without registration with the SEC (under the Securities Act of 1933) or some other special exemption.

We've recently had some movement in this area = Good News.

Investopedia explains Authorized Stock
This number can be changed only by a vote of all the shareholders. Management will typically keep the number of authorized shares higher than those actually issued. This allows the company to sell more shares if it needs to raise additional funds.

Movement here (lawyer, travel, etc.) = Good News.

I smell merger news soon. Hopefully I can get more shares Monday
before this thing goes through the roof.
