The results of our share count survey last weekend did not cover everyone. No problem at all if some don't want to share holdings numbers. I did the survey through private message and heard back from 19 out of 32 posters here. So far it has totaled 1.8 billion shares owned by investors on the Investors Hangout Board. I do know that number has gotten larger since last weekend.
Based on discussions I've had with others here and the fact that I did not hear from everyone leads me to believe the board here holds well north of 2 billion shares and growing. By the time the share count reaches 5.1 billion, the board here will own over half of the outstanding shares.
