I wonder how much the shares are spread, ie how many different people are actually holding them. Any way to get a rough feeling about that?
EDIT: I guess one could track the transactions that are paying dividends and counts the number of addresses
Yeah, good idea, that'd work.
Looking at some of the auctions here some IPO people still hold thousands of shares. There'd be dozens who'd have a few hundred, then on down to the folk like me who got in a bit later. With the 1/100 pass throughs there'd now be a few thousand shareholders, I'd imagine, though strictly speaking 1/100 pass throughs aren't really AM shares.
Literally, owners of PT shares aren't shareholders, the issuers of PT's instead are.
