You should, that is what equity is. You own a piece of that company. The
management is ethically bound in increase the value of your share. Thus we
measure ownership in the company by shares.
>Also, unless i've been misled, isn't Kerry the one who is quite a bit more
>well off financially than Bush?
No. Kerry's family is a lot more well off due to the enormous amount of
money Theresa Heinz has. I think Bush is estimated to be worth $9M
dollars. Kerry's family is valued at at least $150M.
*I think that $9M for W is a bit low. I don't have any evidence or haven't
read any rumors but that $9M looks awfully low.
