Let us provide the simple Investopedia explanation of "dilution". Again, the simple approach to understanding what "dilution" really is all about.

The remaining points are moot. In time, all will be revealed to attest to such.

Your assertion is FALSE!

Investopedia explains 'Dilution'

Suppose a company has issued 100 shares to 100 unique shareholders. Each shareholder owns 1% of the company. If the company then has a secondary offering and issues 100 new shares to 100 more unique shareholders, each shareholder will only own 0.5% of the company. The smaller ownership percentage also diminishes each investor's voting power.

Share dilution may be imminent any time a company needs additional capital. The potential upside of share dilution is that the additional capital the company receives from issuing additional shares can improve the company's profitability and the value of its stock.
