IMPORTANT: FAIR NOTICE TO FELLOW ATTD iHUBBERS...
As most of you know, I fervently support ATTD and hold a significant number of shares (putting my money where my mouth is). Nevertheless, my fondness for ATTD and its long-term prospects do not blind my analytical observations. Thus, in order to stave off shock or panic selling, I humbly request that you please note the following.
ATTD WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY HAVE TO INCREASE ITS AUTHORIZE SHARE COUNT (A/S) WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO. The convertible notes coming due in March and beyond - compared with the current O/S of 500+ million shares and the current A/S of 1 billion shares - make this fact all but a certain, albeit necessary, evil. OF CRUCIAL IMPORTANCE: DO NOT BE SURPRISED WHEN THE ATTD A/S INCREASE HAPPENS SO AS TO AVOID PANIC SELLING. Instead, price the pending A/S increase into the trading NOW.
As to ATTD's long-term PPS performance, this pending A/S increase will fade in magnitude of impact. Chalk it up to growing pains and work your trading around it for now. I believe that in time (e.g., one-two years ahead) ATTD will execute a large share buyback to help correct the pending A/S increase. GLTA.
