StemCells Inc. To Float More Stock

StemCells (STEM) shareholders did not like the company floating more stock. Dilution, dilution, dilution. On Thursday, 02011.12.15, STEM hit an intra-day high of $1.71. The next day, Friday, 02011.12.16, STEM closed at $0.83.

The company anticipated STEM shares getting hit, so prior to announcing the selling of more stock, the company issued a press release having the title: "StemCells, Inc. Completes Enrollment of First Cohort in Landmark Chronic Spinal Cord Injury Trial."
