Charts - I wasn't going to waste time responding to your ridiculous post - but I will - given what day today is.
If you had bothered to read (comprehend) my post - I referenced the fact that if any investor purchased 90M shares of BD, they would control the company. I could have just as easily said 70M, or 60M, or 55M - any number greater than 50% of the available shares. I also used the figure of $.07. I could have used $.08 or $.06 per share.
WHAT I DID NOT SAY WAS THAT THERE WERE 90M SHARES OUTSTANDING.
In a response to likwit (who, like myself, isn't likely to get a definitive answer from Lou re the number of shares out) I did answer his specific question : As of a few days ago, there were more than 104,000,000 shares of BD outstanding.
Re addressing anything you referenced for 2005 and 2006, don't look for a response from me. For me, those years have absolutely NOTHING to do with the current state of BD, the events unfolding, or the current potential for the company.
You obviously feel differently, prefering to base past performances ahead of today's realities. Fine. Have good time analyzing the past.
I'll be busy trying to analyze the current and future possibilities and trying to make sense of it all, and hopefully forgetting about all of the past year's lies and fraudulent PR's, etc, etc. This is a whole new ballgame, with new players, new opportunities, new efficiencies, and, with the Good Lord's help, audited financials for 2007! BD's past is of no ongoing financial consequence to me.
Happy Tuesday.
