Do not agree, If Mr Berman is bothered by pesky shareholders and non-shareholders, this type of firm is perfect to isolate him and his mgmt. team from this group. Then, he is free to drive the business without wasting his valuable time on any shareholder. It would be good business. Nothing more - use your time where it is most needed as good mgmt. principal - the other shareholder base is then fronted by a org skilled in the positive correspondence and negative. end-of-story.
