Hate to disagree with you, carna, at least in the following regard, as regards the merits of a R/S: IF what ever investors BEFORE THE R/S have a boat load of shares, then it can & SOMETIMES serves well for them! But it in no way serves well for all of those ''small potato'' type of investors who DON'T have a boat load of shares, IMO! NOR DO MOST COMPANIES FARE WELL AFTER DOING A R/S, STATISTICALLY SPEAKING!!! BESIDES ALL OF THAT, When & if the investors of whatever given stock ''get wind of'' or ''the stinking, rotten whiff of'' a forth-coming R/S. THERE IS ALMOST ALWAYS A MASS & IMMEDIATE EXIT FOR TO ESCAPE THEIR POSITIONS BY MOST OF THE STOCK HOLDERS. THE which very typical response has to make anybody ask their self the following question: ''If R/S' s are so good for EVERYBODY concerned, how come it is that almost nobody wants to be in one on the front in, but how they MAY buy in to a company, and then only warily so, AFTER ONE HAS ALREADY HAPPENED, EY? Other than that ''little point of disagreement, ( and I think that you will find yourself in the minority of people on this forum who would agree with you!), I wish you well & every success via your particular kind of ''investment'' position here in KMAG!!! YOUR (NEW) FRIEND, JAIME :)
