Nope, they be different. Outstanding shares is all shares. From this amount ya take out restricted shares and those held by insiders and any other shares that can't be frequently traded. What is left is the float. The float is what will move the stock, but if it is too close to the OS it means the board has little faith in the company (one of many reasons). I try to stay away from companies that have a float above 80% of the OS but that works better with real companies vs BBs. 40-60% of the OS is ideal for me but others might differ. And the size is also important. If it's too small ya can't always get out when you want and if it's too big it takes a lot of muscle to move the price.
