If you buy shares in a Blackrock S&P 500 fund, which is the sort of fund that accounts for their huge holdings of most public companies, then I don't think they have the power to dump stocks that are on the official list.

That would be weird. I mean, at least it would be much more newsworthy than this article, and I would expect to have heard. And I would expect massive lawsuits and regulators out for blood.

I could be wrong. Do you have a source?

Do I have as source about the Law of Supply & Demand? Or that the largest shareholder has more sway in the day to day operations of a company?
