I've traded many stocks in the past successfully regardless of a high A/S. Most of these subpenny stocks under .002 have huge A/S typically and it is expected that they will raise their A/S continually over the longer term while they hit new lows such as .001 or less.
If anyone does not expect & understand that or accept that fact, then they should not be trading these stocks.
In the shorter term what matters is O/S and ongoing dilution while holding.
I've covered this issue extensively in weeks past here when they raised the A/S to 9.9 billion from 4.9 billion.
The A/S was already very high at 4.9 billion on $VCPS months ago and when it traded upward a few times for profitable trades, including that last move to .002+ July 31. If the huge A/S of 4.9 billion did not scare anyone in weeks or months past, then why would any rational person care about A/S in the short term moving to 9.9 billion(?)
What matters is the dilution affect, the O/S and actual trade float while one is trading it in the short term.
