      No, you are the shareholder because you receive your salary into a bank account which then automatically gets invested (and unless your bank is ripping you off you should be getting a monthly interest) and you have a pension which is also invested. You are an ACTUAL shareholder.

        there is no monthly interest in regular accounts here unless you put it in a savers account. but yes I do and I know that my pension usually invests the money too without much flexibility on where to invest it in. so unless you are Ron Swanson there is no complete disconnection from this web. but the fix is easy: all I have to say is “individually major share holder” since those will be the ones deciding about company policies not me.

        I think any company whose only shareholders are made up of people holding 0.000001% in shares wont suffer from the same consequences a company does when there are shareholders like %10, 20, 30 etc. Same difference between having billions or hundred thousands.
