This is why ownership for those who want to own is a responsibility to purchase shares and support the company. Sitting back and thinking that your value will stay where it was when the company needs money to continue will get you diluted out every time. A shareholder MUST keep purchasing shares to stay with their original % of the company or increase their share amount more if they believe in the company. It is our company and can only be taken away if we stop supporting. Of course there are many who want us to get disapointed and leave. If not only to justify themselves leaving.
