how is an activist shareholder different from an activist?

• ganstyles 7y ago
  An activist shareholder owns part of the company and has additional ability to effect change through voting shares. An activist without any shares cannot attend the shareholder meetings, etc. for example.

    from the letter it doesnt seem he can do more with shares than without

      He can profit if his activism brings the share price up.

    Also, an activist shareholder is usually trying to make money on their investment. Otherwise you would just be an activist that happens to own shares.
