Here’s this week’s letter:
I recently heard a talk by someone who was saying that shareholders can influence what a company does. But my question is, do I need to be a big time player with lots of stocks to be able to have any influence? The speaker gave the example of Engine 1, and said they had a tiny amount of stocks in Exxon but I guess I just want to hear another opinion about this. Can a middle income person really have any influence?
