Holter IMO you're EXACLY RIGHT !!!
In order for GTEL stock to rise to lovely 7 Billion Market Cap in the long run (kinda like SIRI stock) when it has commercial STRAT we need to have large amount of authorized shares available to sell to institutional investors, funds and individual investors. That is how we get PPS rise afterall. If GTEL runs out of OS then they will need to do forward split. Which I hope will come very soon when commercial strat is seen as viable product on the Wall Street. I will enjoy that day and ride. I really think as soon as Institutional investors start getting in very heavily we will go up in PPS so much that in 2006 we should hit NASDAQ. AMEX is a springboard to NASDAQ, rather people want to accept it or not. Paradigm inventions and telecommunications firms belong to NASDAQ not AMEX. All in my opinion and let's hope I’m right.
I'm not sure why everyone is mentioning $4.00 Amex opening price but unless we have a run up if we were to open on AMEX today our opening price would be 0.242 x 15 = $3.63. per today's close. I know Rock has mentioned that some Ins.Inv. get in at even lower prices even $3.00 but from what i have seen MOST CAN'T TOUCH IT TIL NOT $4.00 BUT $5.00 but let's hope institutional investors will get us to that price tag sooner then later.
