riiight, no distinct characteristic...

thats why the top five share holders (23% altogether) are investment banks and capital management funds.

totally nothing distinct going on

I think the person you're replying to meant there's no distinct characteristic for all shareholders.

yeah, i think the only thing one can say with certainty is that they own shares.

did they buy them to get a vote in company decisions? did they buy them to get dividends? did they buy to later sell them for more? who knows.

There's a reason those companies are measured by "Assets Under Management". It's not their own assets.
