"Every company dilutes." Hardly.

Amazing how little penny players know about "real stocks." Many quality corps regularly reacquire their own shares. A common criticism of Trump's tax cuts is that a lot of the new corporate profits are used for buy-backs -- to reduce dilution -- rather than for creating jobs. Compare with RNVA's regular flood of new stock.

For example:
Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shares Outstanding
(Millions of Shares)
2017 2,469
2016 2,467
2015 2,466
2014 2,467
2013 2,469
2012 2,479
2011 2,476

And Buffett has recently announced much larger buy-backs to come.
