Right. But as someone else on this thread said, if the "value" (as determined by the stock market) is perceived as being high, then the company can issue shares and raise more capital with fewer shares sold. On the other hand, if share value is low, the company doesn't have as much flexibility to raise more funds because they must sell more shares for less capital (not an attractive option.)

Bottom line, you're trying to paint traded shares as being unrelated to $ value to the company -- in fact, they are very much related. Even though the cash doesn't flow directly from investors to the company, "value" is being transferred from investors to the company.
