Dictionary
float
The number of shares of a company's stock in the hands of the public. Float is determined by subtracting the number of shares held by management from the total number of shares outstanding. A proportionately small float can cause a stock to be more volatile or harder to trade due to a limited supply of shares being available to publicly buy or sell.
