since this went to the Senate, it's important to understand why/how it happened.... i have "clipped the pertinent areas direclty form the SEC filings, and this will take several posts to complete..it's important that i use the exact wording from the filings
GLOBAL LINKS CORP DEF 14C 9/17/2004 9/3/2004
AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
The board of directors has determined that it is advisable to increase our authorized common stock and has adopted, subject to shareholder approval, an amendment to our articles of incorporation to increase our authorized number of shares of common stock from 500,000,000 shares to 1,900,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.
AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK
The board of directors has determined that it is advisable to increase our authorized preferred stock and has adopted, subject to shareholder approval, an amendment to our articles of incorporation to increase our authorized number of shares of preferred stock from 50,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.
GRANT OF DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO AMEND OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT AN UP TO ONE FOR 350 REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
Our board of directors has adopted a resolution to seek shareholder approval to grant the board discretionary authority to amend our articles of incorporation to implement a reverse split for the purpose of increasing the market price of our common stock. The reverse split exchange ratio that the board of directors approved and deemed advisable and for which it is seeking shareholder approval is up to 350 pre-consolidation shares for each one post-consolidation share, with the reverse split to occur within 60 days of the date of this information statement, the exact time of the reverse split to be determined by the directors in their discretion. Approval of this proposal would give the board authority to implement the reverse split on the basis of 150, 250 or 350 pre-consolidation shares for each one post-consolidation share at any time it determined within 60 days of the date of this information statement. In addition, approval of this proposal would also give the board authority to decline to implement a reverse split.
EFFECT OF THE REVERSE SPLIT
The reverse split would not affect the registration of our common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor will it change our periodic reporting and other obligations thereunder.
The voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock would not be affected by the reverse split (other than as a result of the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares as described below). For example, a holder of 0.5 percent of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse split would continue to hold 0.5 percent of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock after the reverse split. The number of shareholders of record would not be affected by the reverse split (except to the extent that any shareholder holds only a fractional share interest and receives cash for such interest).
The authorized number of shares of our common stock and the par value of our common stock under our articles of incorporation would remain the same following the effective time of the reverse split.
Based on the 500,000,000 shares of our common stock that are currently authorized under our articles of incorporation, prior to any increase in the number of our authorized common stock, if we elect to implement a one for 350 reverse stock split, the reverse split, when implemented, would have the effect of increasing the number of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock from 200,212,201 to 499,143,464 shares.

the last paragraph in the previous post is CRITICAL...it basically says that the Authorised shares will not go down....
HOWEVER, on 2/2/05 this was filed with the SEC
GLOBAL LINKS CORP 8-K 2/2/2005 1/14/2005
ITEM 3.03 MATERIAL MODIFICATION TO RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
Effective February 1, 2005, the Registrant implemented a one for 350 reverse split of its authorized, issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The number of authorized and outstanding shares of the Registrant's common stock has been reduced in accordance with the one for 350 split ratio to 5,428, 571 and 1,158,064, respectively, following the February 1, 2005 reverse split.
i believe the authorized shares were actually SUPPOSED to read 1.9 BILLION, not 5,428,571... this 1.9Billion figure is based on the previous filing. NOTE that they also DISMISSED their independant auditor on Feb 1 2005-the same day as the RS. he and the CEO BOTH signed this document which does NOT agree with prior filings
TEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On February 1, 2005, the Registrant dismissed its independent auditor, William E. Costello CPA, certified public accountant ("Costello"), because Costello was not registered with the PCAOB.
Costello's reports on the Registrant's financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that Costello's reports on the Registrant's financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 expressed doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a "going concern."
The decision to dismiss Costello was recommended by the Registrant's Board of Directors.

no, the prefered shares are CONVERTIBLE to common at a rate of ten to 1
the MM's (contrary to popular opinion) are not idiots. they know they can pick up the phone to "get" shares to cover the short position, so they are selling common shares confdent that they will be able replace them...
