We still talk about shares as if buying one means backing a business.

Most people would recognise that description. It feels… reasonable.

And the awkward thing is: it’s not wrong, but it has evolved.

Lets Rethink Financial Services: How shareholding quietly changed.

We still talk about shares as if buying one means backing a business. You put some money in. The business does well. You wait. At some point — ideally years later — you share in the rewards. Most p…

@StarkRG That really depends om the regulators:

  • #Loans usually are done out of a position of confidence and they usually require #collateral to go against: Real Estate, Vehicles, Income that is contractually due,...

Whereas #Shareholding also means getting control in return for not having any actual collateral (I mean, look at #NSAbook, they don't have anything they could.offer as collateral!)…

  • So the idea is a #gamble: 999 of 1000 it'll be a loss but the 1 where one was able to pre-seed just right can get a billion dollar ROI at #GoingPublic.

So thw perverse incentives and risk/reward calculus is going to push that.

Interestingly Helen Thomas (FT) suggests today that the #water sectors crisis is more of an issue of the practices of #privateequity than the of #privatisation itself;

she draws a distinction between the debt crisis of firms with private equity involvement & those (doing a better, but still not great job) under standard #shareholding models

Her conclusion would seem to indicate reform of regulation & limiting styles of private ownership may be an immediately actionable route out of the crisis?
