I'm assuming the person I replied to was insinuating that the people with an influential amount of voting stock are adequate representatives of the interests of small fry investors building up for retirement. My response is that if the former has the option to increase their share of wealth at the expense of the latter (like rearranging the leadership in a way that promotes short term gain at the expense of long term gain), they will take it. They're interested in their numbers, not any particular company, or the health of the market, or retirees.

Thank you for asking for clarification. I realize I responded precipitously and was too cryptic to contribute anything meaningful to the discussion.
