The question is not how many were sold, it's how many were DELIVERED! You speak often about a "printing press" which is exactally what the MM's have under the Madoff Exception. Only catch is, if the company does not fail and declare BK, they will have to be accounted for at some point. LOL
Well, if nobody is selling, why have 2,800,000,000+ shares changed hands so far this year? Its true that at least 1,000,000,000 of that was dilution ... but who sold the other 1.8 Billion?
