You often hear that the private investors only own a fraction of companies.The bulk of the company is with the institutional investors.Yet then you hear especially in the oil sector that the institutional investors are not there now,either into another sector or waiting or just totally not bothered about it at all.So why do the private investors get totally overlooked as the backbone of these companies.Traded quite a bit on the ftse 100 and 250 but AIM is a totally different beast.The lack of respect for shareholders to me,in my opinion,is a disgrace.You look at companies who you want to invest in,try and be on the path to a better outlook and want them to succeed.Yet time and time again it becomes apparent that they really aren't bothered.Kea Petroleum,for a new investor of only 2-3 years, is laughable.I've certainly learnt the hard way.Would put GLA but really,I think we all know what we have here.
