followingte, here are your answers. "While I am happy to see this stock go up I have to ask why?"......GTE's pps has been going up because more people have been buying GTE stock than selling it. Why have these people been buying GTE stock? You'll have to ask them. "With the potential dilution of a possible 10 million more shares hitting the market what will be the effect?"......The effect will be a continued rise in the price if more people buy GTE stock than sell it........All of your other questions can be fully and completely answered by the passing of time (patience), and by reading all past, current, and future GTE SEC filings and press releases. See how easy that was? Now you can go play with your Tonka Toys, and relax.......From an equally very open and concerned (about making money) shareholder (BTW, since I have 5x the number of shares you have, I figure I'm 5x more concerned) Ciao
