"The only way to get a full and accurate assessment of share count is to have account statements provided in a period beyond the date in which trading has stopped."
Except, even if you could get a court to require b/d's to provide such statements they would not reflect shares that were not in b/d accounts.
And
Getting the shareholders to provide proof of their holdings, whether that be in account statement or cert form, should they be holding same, is not at all likely to be met with 100% compliance.
So there is NO "only way to get a full and accurate assessment of share count", is there?
And given the above, the issue of trading having to be stopped to accomplish such a thing is moot, isn't it?
I'm tryin ta think but nuttin happens......Curly
