Exactly correct.

The problem with TYTN and others like it, is people start to almost worship the CEO, that he's God's gift as to their retirement accounts.

However, as more and more stock is sold, regardless of the use of the sold stock, naturally occuring dilution occurs, and it takes more and more good news to make it pop, let alone stay up.

In any case, the CEO keeps doing better and better with the sold stock, even if the company constantly operates at a loss, needing to sell more and more shares to accomplish more and more tasks of building the company stronger and stronger.

To shareholders who hold for a long long time, and have to average down, the company may be operating at a loss on paper, but paper losses can also be a good thing if the CEO wants to sell the business to someone new, and they have automatic write-offs.

Just not good for the investors.
