Exactly that cavity, I’m strictly saying that those posters who keep posting negatives about how “us shareholders” are feeling do not speak for me and my 0.5%.
The number makes a difference because if there are, for instance, 10 shareholders each with 100k shares saying “all of us shareholders have no confidence in Colin” whilst I hold the view that he’s doing a good job, then yeah, it actually does give my view more gravitas as if push comes to shove I own more of the company than those 10 shareholders put together and as such, if it came to a vote, my views do in fact matter more.
Hence, I am not happy that there are negative posters saying “shareholders aren’t happy” and want to make a point that actually, some of the bigger shareholders in the company are incredibly happy with performance, not necessarily with share price, but that’ll fall in line as Colin keeps up the good work.
In short coffeecups, yes, the number of shares I hold does give me a “bigger voice” so to speak, it doesn’t necessarily make me right, but it does mean that when muck like one poster calling for an extraordinary shareholder meeting to chuck out CB is posted about because “shareholders are fed up” I am perfectly entitled to say, no, that’s a load of ... we’re not fed up, especially when the likliehood is that I could outvote said poster - bottom line is that as a substantial shareholder, I’m not happy with people posting negative toss on my behalf.
