eBay To Double Authorized Shares



In a regulatory filing, eBay is looking to increase the number of authorized common shares of stock to 3.6 billion. Isn't that exciting? No? Okay, I agree.

It's basically just to allow them to do a 2:1 stock split sometime in the future.

I'm not Louis Rykhouser for Wall Street Week. This looks like a protective move, to avoid takeover bids, by dilution. As an Asian Mkt. expands, so to will ebays capital investment. It's also nice to have alittle cash around in case they might want to buy something. Like political influence maybe?
