Sure: basically when large institutional investors go to sell shares they sell them in blocks. There are not a ton of people who can afford to buy these entire blocks, though they may want to buy some portion of them. HFTs add value by bu

The internet doesn't belong to vendors. The internet doesn't belong to governments. The internet belongs to the user, right? The thing is, this is literally false. The infrastructure of the internet is paid for by governments a

I feel like this hardly touches on the main issues. It really doesn't matter what % of the company you are given, there are tons of other factors (such as the class of stock) that can effect your future dilution, as well as the value
