eli5: How many stocks must one own before getting to have their input at least heard by a company?
In: Economics
One share. 🙂
If you’re a shareholder in a company, every year they’ll have a meeting where they tell you how things are going, and often there are decisions like “should we start this megaproject” where all the shareholders get to vote. You can either attend the meeting in person, or you can vote by filling out a form.
Of course, you’re getting one vote while some people are going to get 250,000 votes, so your input isn’t getting heard very much, but it is getting heard.
