Afternoon Koan,
As a shareholder I can do some pretty simple math and figure out what my shares are worth at various pps. From here I can subtract my cost basis and again, fairly simply, end up with what my gain can be. My math maths, as they say, partly because it’s so simple. Like others I am currently the owner of shares and a negative return on them.
I have a vested interest in following this saga because the equation n(shares) x y(pps) = $(profit). For clarity, I use $ because I was fortunate to back trucks up when shares were mere Pennies so I’m assuming a higher value resulting from the balance of the transaction.
What do you suppose the vested interest equation is for all of our non-shareholder colleagues?
It can’t be as simple as n x y =$ because they lack the n input for that equation.
I have a fun book about math equations, principles and theories. I’ll skim the appendix this evening to see if there is a theorem with respect to (borrowed). Pending the result of that search I may work on an equation that considers the hourly rate of a paralegal as well as a competent lawyer. Finding even the average of the two x 16 hours a day x 1825 days = a staggering amount of resources that certainly can’t be for no material gain.
Take good care and enjoy your evening fellow shareholder.
