Question 1

Why does share structure matter for traders?

Accepted Answer

Share structure determines how many shares can trade freely (the float). A tight structure with low float means small buying pressure can move the price significantly. A bloated structure with billions of authorized shares signals dilution risk.

Question 2

Where can I find a company's share structure?

Accepted Answer

Share structure data comes from SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, S-1). For OTC stocks, OTC Markets publishes disclosure documents. All Seeing Eye tracks share structure history on every stock page.

Question 3

What is a good share structure for a penny stock?

Accepted Answer

Traders generally look for low authorized shares (under 500M), low outstanding shares, a tight float, and no history of reverse splits or toxic convertible notes. High insider ownership is also a positive signal.
