GM, I apologize if I gave you the impression that I think I'm "superior".I can tell you I am not. My "naive" investor is one who only looks for where the profit is for them. By "sophisticated", this investor has purchased a small but significant (for him/her at least) portion of the risk. Eg. should IOM tank tomorrow and the Co. is liquidated then most of us would be left with only par value (usually pennies/shr). So this shareholders equity is what allows Cos. access to other major capital markets. There are a few Cos. like MSFT that don't have any debt and enough cash to fund their future. But very few. So Iput to you that shareholders allow a company access to capital. In your example the Co reports the increase in shareholders equity on their 10K, and reports shares outstanding. Moreover shares are used as incentives to bring on new talent in ESOP. I again apologize for not being clear, but I hope you see my point of shaeholder/investors adding value.
