Investools Files Shelf Registration (SWIM)

Investools Inc. (NASDAQ: SWIM) has filed to sell up to 3,083,178 shares of common stock in an open shelf registration.  None of the shares are going to the company as this was filed on behalf of the selling shareholders that were the owners of thinkorswim.  This will allow the thinkorswim owners to sell any, all, or none of the shares if they so choose.

At today’s prices, this would represent north of $33 million.  Investools market cap is $730 million.  At $11.06 and a $9.29 to $18.23 trading range, this offering is just a small drop in the bucket.

We frequently cover such issues around private offerings, management buyouts, private equity and more in our open email distribution list where we preview certain issues that will be in our twice-monthly Special Situation newsletter for our our subscribers.
