That is, even public companies with someone holding a significant stake an effectively controlling the company (with other shareholders being in effect super-junior debt holders with increased payout function), vs. companies where the ownership is highly diluted and has no effective means of controlling the management.<BR/>The concentrated ones would have to be picked though from ones where the owner held the company for say more than five years, to avoid gut-and-dump corporate raiders.<BR/><BR/>I suspect (in my biased opinion) that we would find the latter are mostly vehicles for emboldening the ego of the CEO and transfer of wealth from owners to management.
