Could mean a lot of things even though the opposition will harp on the negative. If anyone thinks the company is looking to cash out they will have a lot of explaining to do to a national retailer that is in the works! My hope is this a/s increase is due to control and growth. Besides did anyone believe mrib would stick with 700 mill forever? The company is growing at an increasingly rapid pace and along with it they need the flexibility for anything. They haven't increased o/s in a while they are fine for now. Leaving 100 million left in o/s for a company that should be valued much higher due to brazil and domestic sales wouldn't leave much breathing room. Watching closely is the only thing we can do. Mrib still has a run in it and it will be big!!
