ImagineJust think if NEM did what BA did yesterday. Boeing announces they are going to raise 15 billion through a sale of stock in order to "sure up' their balance sheet. IMO that reads in order to stay afloat.
Today, BA stock is up.
NEM's cap is a little over half that of BA.
So if NEM announced that they were going to issue about 8 billion in new shares, where do you think its SP would be today.
I'd guess down about 40 or 50 %.
I can't figure this game out.
