Sly,
I don't find it coincidental.
If I had 2M shares I wanted to sell, I'd wait for an opportunity that figured to have volume buyers. That simple.
You can call that coincidental if you want, but a 50 to 1 shot?
Eventually, financing shares wherever they stand will be entirely bought. Solomon aired his plans which included 2013 shares. So, agree that it's useless to complain. The share counts from this board are just guesses.
We can take hope that a bond offering will limit or eliminate new shares, and that in any case new shares figure to be less than in the past.
Further, at least today, whatever shares are being offered are being bought up, for the most part at reasonable prices, given the huge supply.
