#27085 RE: Jacapo #27084

The shares didn't rise because the stakeholders buying the shares did not retire them.

They're still there and what's worse they're coming back into the market as shares from converted notes which increases the outstanding share count.

It doesn't matter if AAPL wanted to get into the stock scam business and they bought the shares from a mathematic point of view(would sure matter from a sentiment pointnof view though)unless AAPL bought the shares and retired them.

You see... It doesn't matter who buys them... Which stakeholder owns them... As long as they exist the purchase alone doesn't change the count...though it could change the sentiment.

Now... To further comicate it some readers might be like "WAIT! So JP you're saying that someone buying 250 million shares would not raise the share price ?"

And that's not what I'm saying...what I'm saying is that while the stakeholders increased the shares they held UBRG extended the TOTAL NUMBER OF SHARES WHICH EXIST IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE from 1 billion to 3 billion wich can pretty much moot any stakeholder buying...unless they retire shares or buy shares at a clip which paces the dilution.
