It cannot be to me. If I have 20 stocks, I do not have the time to run 20 businesses. I do not have to hire, fire, plan... I do not put most of my eggs on a business as most business owners do. It is just saying to a policeman or a fire fighter I pay your salary. It is only true for your ego and nothing more.
Who
are the owners that will affect the companies' strategies? Not you as a
retail investor, but the big mutual funds, pension funds... and then
the insiders who usually suggest how you should vote.
I ignore
all these vote requests as I usually have about a hundred of stocks
(less today). I do not even have time to read all their suggestions.
To
illustrate, the hedge fund who owns most of Sears shares pretty much
make the decisions. I made money on Sear not by keeping Sear as a
company, but trading the Sear stock.
The decision to trade a stock for me
is the potential appreciation of its stock price (via many researches
by others). I trade the company by a click of the button, and there is no
emotion attached to the button as I'm not the owner but a investor.
