sorry Spence I dont know how to send a message without using reply and seeing as you are the one i have to thank for leading me to this stock I chose yours. anyhow I am a new investor with very little experience and I was just wondering if anyone can shed some light on the large number of outstanding shares?? I like everything else about this co., however this one area greatly concerns me. I have mentioned this co. to others and they dont seem to be interested once they see the amount of share outstanding???
