Strongly agree with Big Toe that's where the disconnect is... it's the timeline and vestedness

When you have people saying to liquidate the company becuase it is trading below book value or RNAV it's obvious where the disconnect is. That's why I actually told companies that most funds, especially hedge funds or ETFs, are not your stakeholders. You can ask them for suggestions like we can ask tourists their feedback but don't imagine they are thinking about the long term business

The effort needed to invest in public companies/trading stocks is becoming so easy and so cheap that it somewhat dilutes the sense of business ownership.

On the other hand, the effort, time, labour needed for the founder/Ceo/chairman (who owns a significant stake ) to grow the company to where it is today. The relationships built over the years with stakeholders; employees,suppliers, customers, etc. 

The mindset will never be the same. And strangely enough it is sometimes the non-monetary motivation at the top level that drives the company through very tough times. Investors/traders on the other hand do not have the emotional baggage  and will bail during tough times. And all businesses will experience tough times.
