(5) Most shareholders hold well-diversified portfolios, often index funds. Few invest solely or even predominantly in the shares of any one corporation.
Also some investors get very excited about a company's opportunities, follow the company closely, and despite recommendations of financiaql advisors will go over 10% of their portfolio in a company. Obviously they can lose, but some of the world's fortunes are made when people "bet the farm" on something they believe in. Berkshire Hathaway comes to mind as an example of shareholders keeping their money there. IBM in the '70's, Google today,,,,these are companies where "the secretaries" can be millionaires.
It seems this approach would take a lot of that away, and maybe lose some of that 60+ hour a week drive on the part of management and employees.
