I'm not saying there isn't dilution. Anyone who can read knows there is. I am saying the selling isn't the dilution. It is the issuance of shares that is the dilution. The selling comes after the dilution. Do you need reading lessons 101 ?


Definition of 'Dilution'

A reduction in the ownership percentage of a share of stock caused by the issuance of new stock. Dilution can also occur when holders of stock options (such as company employees) or holders of other optionable securities exercise their options. When the number of shares outstanding increases, each existing stockholder will own a smaller, or diluted, percentage of the company, making each share less valuable. Dilution also reduces the value of existing shares by reducing the stock's earnings per share.
