RE:PredictionWe are well past the record date for shares. My understanding is that the shares you own as of the record date, is the amount of shares you are elegible to use for your vote.
You canot (after the record date), buy more shares hoping to increase your position. The same thing applies with dividends.
One thing to note is that we've had some rather large volume days after the record date. Someone is accumulating. Even our volume on Friday was quite siginificant as it was 10x the average.
