wow jimmy, I almost understand your confusion. That statement alone makes it sound like the shares in street name aren't included in the outstanding. Of course, with all of the corroborating evidence to the contrary, most people realize that it is just a poorly structured sentence. The most obvious evidence being the T/A's stock ledger as of 12/31/04 clearly includes the shares held by Cede in the total ouststanding.
Of the 800 billion authorized shares of common stock, CMKX currently has 703,518,875,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding to approximately 2,032 stockholders of record (excluding shares held in "street name").
Damn Right I've Got the Blues.
