In order to compare I'd have to waste my time comparing revenue/profits/and the future for both companies, not worth my time. Though KCG, last quarter had over 3 million dollars in NET income and the previous quarter 33 million. Not necessarily the float that matters. Why not compare to APPLE a real stock with real products with real profitability, and what is their float?? Look at a company like Oceaneering an offshore oil services company, look at their profitability and their float. If a companies profitability supports the amount of shares in the float that's better for the investor. There is no positive for TEVE having such a small float though I agree with one thing a larger float, not supported by TEVE's Revenue, will only cause massive dilution, yet therefore will remain stagnated for years......, so in order to raise necessary capital they will have to do just that, secondary offering thus dilution in a company not profitable. Investors lose either way. The comparison of TEVE stock and gold is flawed. Stocks and Gold are comparing apples and oranges, Right now there is plenty of gold on the market to buy and sell, what would happen if Gold could no longer be traded, no longer a market where people would not buy the current ask or people that held gold would not sell. The price would stagnate or drop considerably. Gold is a liquid market easy to buy easy to sell, thus the price increase and decrease based on demand. More gold is being mined every day, Whereas TEVE will only become liquid if more shares are made available. Good comparison though, and it shows why TEVE stocks volume is almost zero and the price is not moving.
