I think it is mostly psychology via ratios. For example a number of institutional investors go by EPS. If shares in this industry are trading at a 20 x multiple and your companies shares are trading at a 10x multiple, you can try to buy bac

There is a disconnect here that needs to be clarified but you are actually part correct. The 'corporation' owns the shares, but shareholder 1 owns the corporation and thus it is his now. Shareholder 1 now owns 100% of the company

It's not even that bad for users. Paypal sucks for people on the merchant side of the transaction. People who actually accumulate money in accounts are those that always complain. Merchants feel like they have to stick with it just to

Places like Birchbox are huge pieces of crap. They free trial you but also renew you automatically for a year at a time and won't let you cancel. Look up reviews of it any you will see hundreds and hundreds of complaints and I experien

Senators get elected at best about 70% to 30% in votes also so assume that only 70% of that 38.4M people actually 'control' the laws. "Completely control" is a bit of an exaggeration though, I think you mean not allow n

I don't think the monopoly the previous user mentions implies you can't speak but it implies you can't be found. For instance if you don't show up on Google, yes you can tell your friends to visit your website but you c
