    I mean, it’s recommended to. Diversification, right?

    But that’s besides the point. I’m just not sure what you mean by shareholders here. They really come in those two types: individuals, and funds that issue their own shares which you can then buy. If you’re fine with individuals holding shares, I don’t really see why you’d have a problem with the funds.

      I didn’t explain it very clearly, I dislike the idea of shares because it results in a board of directers that all have different and contradictory goals to do with the company so the only thing they can agree on in the end is making money regardless of the ethical consequences.

      Although since it’s one of the best ways to invest the money you have I don’t blame individuals for buying them.
