	Invest FAQ: Stocks: Outstanding Shares and Float
		In a nutshell, the outstanding shares (also known as issued shares) are those held by the public but possibly restricted from trading, and the float is the number of shares held by the public and available for trading.
		At the moment of incorporation, these shares are held in the company treasury (at least that's what people say); the number of outstanding shares and the float are both zero.
		Because the number of outstanding shares increases, this is known as dilution, since the ownership stake of existing shareholders is diluted by the newly issued shares.

	Treasury stock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After buyback, the company can either retire the shares (however, retired shares are not listed as treasury stock on the company's financial statements) or hold the shares for later resale.
		If the market fairly prices a company's shares at $50/share, if a company buys back 100 shares for $5000, it now has $5000 less cash but there are 100 fewer shares outstanding; the net effect should be that the value per share is unchanged.
		However, buying back shares does improve certain per-share ratios, such as price/earnings (earnings per share is increased due to fewer shares outstanding), but that's only because valuing a company's shares according to those ratios is not accurate when a company is holding a lot of cash.

	What is the weighted average of outstanding shares?
		The amount of shares outstanding in a company will often change due to a company issuing new shares, repurchasing and retiring existing shares, and other financial instruments such as employee options being converted into shares.
		The weighted average of outstanding shares is a calculation that incorporates any changes in the amount of outstanding shares over a reporting period.
		The weighted average number of shares is calculated by taking the number of outstanding shares and multiplying the portion of the reporting period those shares covered, doing this for each portion and, finally, summing the total.

	TimingCube - Stock splits - IWM,stock splits,share price,outstanding shares,reverse splits
		Stock splits are a way for corporations and fund managers to control the share price and the total number of outstanding shares without affecting market capitalization.
		The market cap of a company or fund, which is calculated by multiplying the total number of shares by the share price, does not change as a result of a split.
		Many in the industry have come to believe that a split is a positive indication of a stock that is "on the move" and doing well, and there are even investment newsletters that focus almost exclusively on that theory by recommending primarily stocks that announce splits.
