Another note on dilution...

Those of you following on investors hub may have noticed one poster over there who keeps sscreaming about VNDM and dilution. This is regarding “dilution” not in the sense of new shares created or new shares becoming unrestricted and hitting the market, but “dilution” meaning Market Makers selling large volumes of shares at a set price to keep the price from going up.

Here’s an explanation of dilution from an Upper Divion Investing article:

Dilution hinders a stock from running and and can push the price down as well. Dilution is most noticeable when a market maker shows a certain amount of shares at a specific price, but sells much more than the amount shown (soaking up size). For example, VFIN may be showing 10,000 shares for sale but actually selling hundreds of thousands. When I see a market maker who is infamous for dilution on a level 2 screen, it is a red flag. Frequent dilutors include but are not limited to VFIN, VNDM, PERT, and VERT. I view dilution on a level 2 screen the same way I view a resistance level on a chart; price levels that will be hard to break.

I don’t have Level 2 access, but apparently that poster does and says VNDM, a known dilutor, is all over this. Just looking at the regular daily trade chart, this seems obvious on many days.
