I disagree. The only way material prospective dilution can be construed to be immaterial to prospective return (and the investment risk suffered in winning it) is if the share price grows without bound. I like you vinnie even though we sometimes get testy with each other. I'm not diagnosing BRCMS (big rock candy mountain syndrome) to start a flamefest or bash the goats. It's a serious point and seriously intended.
If it doesn't "really matter" why are longs sad to see it happen? I'm not singing the basher Song of Dilution--using the word as a bogeyman--just saying that dilution is central to the valuation problem and not properly dismissed out of hand as "irrelevant to the big picture". I think I see the big picture as well as anyone, and I think prospective dilution no small part of it.
