Ownership is participation. Imagine if a similar proportion of owners of shares of publicly traded companies henceforth refused to sell their shares under any circumstances for several decades. That would have a significant effect on stock prices, no?
- pjc50 9y agoWhat, like Porsche/VW? Or countless other closely held or family companies?
- rm_-rf_slash 9y agoWell, yes. If any of those owners were to suddenly sell their stock in sizable quantities, that would have an effect on the market, as they too are participants in said market. What point are you trying to make?
- pjc50 9y agoSelling has an effect on the market, but "not participating nor offering for sale" .. doesn't?
- rm_-rf_slash 9y agoThey both do. Ownership without sale increases prices because the same amount of dollars are chasing fewer opportunities.
