RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:too many outstanding sharesBazooka, I believe Apple does have revenue of 800 billion. If you look at the last 4 quarters, it has been $200 billion (give or take) per quarter.... 5-star (lsfca) of course it matters how many shares are outstanding. Don't say such stupid things. Again, I am NOT saying that SBM has too many shares but your statement that the number of shares is irrelevant is just wrong. If you compare two companies and one has 20 million outstanding and the other has 100 million outstanding and everything else is equal (revenue, profits, etc.) then it is obviously better for the company with 20 million shares.
