Not to butt in rudely, but...we could also say that the fewer shares to trade equates to a faster increase by fewer shares bought. Remember the ultimate goal of a traded company is to increase value beyond a "penny share" of 1-3 bucks right? That is why we could push the argument that Once the RS happens, it would be to increase share price rapidly. Thus anyone could manipulate the Market, unless another RS happens to increase the overall Authorized amount.
That said, and not to defeat my own argument, but Nestle and companies like that have purposely opted out of a higher placement, due in great part to reporting issues (or lack there of on the OTC).
Thoughts?
