If you own even a fraction of a share of a business (say IBM), you are, by definition, a "shareholder" in that business. It does not matter if it is via the RobinHood app., or a JP Morgan Chase Premier Brokerage Account.

- maeil 2y agoI own stocks in several companies, as most people on here probably do. There's nothing wrong about what they're saying, I'm a shareholder. If one of the companies I've invested in commits genocide I don't think it would be unfair for me to be punished in some way beyond the monetary loss of my investment. Though I agree that monetary punishments to the company are much more effective than jail for some random shareholders. They just need to be large enough.
