Do you agree that private companies should not longer be required to hold AGMs?

Provided, a leverage limit has already been enacted to apply in such cases.

no, shares are for parent companies only. I would recommend opening a second.

They will no longer have to file with the SEC. They won't have quarterly earnings reports with analysts. Let's see, I think the 10K is exclusive to puclic companies, so they will no longer file this. The board of director's salaries and the executive salaries will not be made public. Dividend pay outs will not be made public. Their will no longer be yardsticks such as EPS,P/E multiples, or market capitializations; just good ol' fashioned appraisals. If you don't sell it back, you are losing out on income. You don't have much of a choice. If the decision to be sold, from the other shareholders has been made, then you have to go along with it. If you don't, it's just folly.

It would be left up to the members. A private club can do pretty much what they want to do.

No, no.  The board is not independent. After all they are appointed by management.  Sure the shareholders get to approve them but that is about it.  They draw a salary plus they are awarded stock options.  Why would they not want to serve on the board?  Attend 4 board meeting a year, and for that take home a nice piece of change.  Also membership on one board normally leads to membership on other boards.  The business community is very chumy. \n\nThey do on occasions show an independent spirit if management is about to make a really bone headed decision and there is a member of the board that is willing to lead the other members in opposition to the decision.  I have known a couple of instances of that happening.  I have also know the board members to summarily fire the CEO.  Normally such a move is instigated behind the scenes by a board member who happens to own a very large portion of the shares of stock with the CEO finding out about his/her demise at the board meeting.

Depending on the securities, the firm might have to cash them in at an unexpected time to pay for business expenses.  With that, it might not be the optimal time to get out of the securities.\n\nAlso, the investments might be poor and lose money for the firm.

Privatization allows for private companies to own industries instead of the public.  Some people think that this is bad but let me give you an example; The Fishing Industry.  Okay take a group of people seated in a circle and pass around a cloth bag full of chocolate candy kisses.  Tell everyone that they may each take as many as they wish and when the bag gets back to you, you will double the number of candies inside the bag and pass it around again.  I guarantee that the bag won't make it around the circle once before all the candies are gone, each person thinking that everyone else is conserving, so they can take a few extras.  Now give everyone there own bag of candies and tell them to take as many as they want and you'll double whats left.  This time everyone will have candy in their left in their own bag.  This is privatization.  This is an example of the fishing industry, now that some parts are privatized no one over fishes because then their area won't have any left for next year.

each company has a private contract

Only with the permission of the parent company.

In general, no. Maybe a few companies are paying an amout that is not in their best interest of the company, but oh well, companies make bad decisions all the time. Take executives pay into account before investing in the long term.

It is up to the fair board to determine its own bylaws.  I can understand why they wanted to reduce your voting block to only one vote (and that is the main reason why they would want to do what they did). \n\nI have seen problems arise in other organizations when family members serve together.  Especially, if all the family members have access to the organizations funds.

I don't see anyway out of the changing conditions of Banking that it becomes a Market Driven Culture. Employees power can only come with production results. Although a certain set of employees can be mainly a clan operation, but they will be in supportive roles only.

You have the option when incorporating a business to have publicly traded shares or keep the shares private. A "privately held company" signifies that it is incorporated but not publicly traded. A family business may or may not be incorporated. Generally a family business signifies the company has been handed down from generation to generation of the same family, but has no significant meaning as to status of incorporation or public/private shares.

both are correct.  while some companies are going out of business, Rendell is signing bills that allow others to begin. I think he'd oin a good job given the hand he's been dealt & he has my vote.

It can be observed to a high extent.............\n\nYou know the whole Stakeholder V Shareholder concept right? Long term vs Short term.\n\nThink of a well known PLC and note down all the things that these two groups think differently about.........for example - using retained profit to update the computer system Vs paying shareholders more money.

Never. Private field was clear and was providing justice to all. By providing reservation, the words 'JUSTICE' and 'LIBERTY' and 'ERADICATION OF CASTE SYSTEM' would just become a mockery. Because doing so, they will commit a blatant mistake, the foreign companies will stop recruiting as they will no more have the proper access to quality and creme of INDIA. Indian companies will go to the dogs if these reserved castes and tribes come up and get appointed without any eligibility. Thus it will have a grave affect on our economy.

No. I co-own a private company and we have to hold several million dollars in liability insurance for that reason.
