Private placementThey raised a fair bit of capital. That's good.
The extra 78 million shares, um, not so good. This company has a large float as it is.
That said, I have had success investing in solid companies with an enormous number of shares outstanding.
Copper Fox Metals and Selwyn Resources have done well for me over the past several months despite both mining companies having in the range of 400 million shares outstanding.
I'm generally not a "tech" guy. I prefer commodities, but PYN intrigues me. Mobile advertising is going to be huge. I think Poynt will be a significant player in this space eventually. The product is outstanding -- it lends itself to advertising -- and the patent is a big plus.
So long as management doesn't pull a reverse split down the road, I'm OK with today's move. The s/p will probably bump around at 17-20 for a while, as others have said, but it's hard not to get excited about the longer term with Poynt.
