So how is a company expected to grow. You can't use restricted shares as collateral and a loan means you have to pay it back with interest or a C/D. So with your logic what does a company do. I look forward to your answer. Thanks!

You are saying that companies are foolish to ever hire celebrity actors and other persons for their ads, or as spokespersons. I believe you should watch TV and look at other media and see where obviously the rest of the world have other ideas.

Dilution always bad? That is like saying you should never take out a mortgage to buy property. It is necessary to take out loans or, in the case of a public company, to sell shares to enable growth. Big companies are very often so leveraged with debt that just a slight downturn in the economy leads to layoffs.

Golden...Assume Rusty shows up at a few cocktail parties on the NASCAR circuit ... and assume he mentions to a few people (with $$$) that he is involved with this little Company that makes AERO mufflers and they sponsored the #4 car and they are just starting to get going...and that he has shares (freebies or not).. You don't think that will get the attention of a few potential friends looking to be investors?...Anybody buy shares in a company on a "hot tip" without 12 months of DD? ...I have,fwiw ...And where is the winners celebrations for The Chase ? ... NEW YORK !!!
