I guess I'm saying it is relative. If you stand to lose your child's college fund, your home, or the ability to eat next week I'd classify that as, "more to lose" than 100 million dollars.

I understand why this isn't practicable. Those who have large investments have a large incentive to educate themselves on how the market works and how corporate governance will impact overall success for the company.

Sometimes hard and unpopular decisions are necessary in order to keep the company profitable.

I do, however, see real value in having input from a sector that's focused more on long term success than short term profits.
