You must bury the shares of your public company to reduce its float. The lower your public company's float, the lower your investor relations cost. [See my article on the proper use of shares.] The buried shares will be deducted from the float, and the remaining amount is the effective float. Your goal is to reduce the effective float to as near zero as possible. If your effective float is zero, you need not find buyers for your float because there are no shareholders selling their stock in your company. This, of course, is the ideal situation. If you want your company to be successful in fxcm every aspect, I recommend that you structure the float of your company this way.
Speculators, Not Investors
American stock buyers, on the whole, are speculators, not investors [http://www.iht.com/articles/529443.htm]. They buy stock with the hope of quickly selling it at a profit. Even the U.S. Government realizes that speculation doesn't lead to economic growth. Taxes for stock buyers willing to hold their shares for at least one year are less than for those who speculate in the Market and quickly sell their stock. Tax incentives from the American government have not changed the speculative nature in the U.S. Market because long-term investors continue to lose money. I've often wondered why these long-term investors continue to buy and hold shares in such a manner?
Avoiding Having Your Shares In the Market
My over 20 years involvement in North American stock markets have proven to me that Market professionals make more money selling stocks short (betting that the price of the shares will go down and the company will go bankrupt) than they do by buying shares. The textbooks only list one of over two dozen of ways that professionals use to sell short stocks. (I have written a short selling article that lists twenty-four ways to short shares.) It is the only way to effectively defend against short selling. Make sure that your company shares are not in possession of the Depository Trust Company in New York.
When most people buy shares, they leave them "in street name" rather than taking possession of the share certificates. "In street name" simply means they are all turned over to the DTC for safekeeping. Short sellers rely or "borrow" street stock in order to sell shares that are not present on the market. Public short sellers anticipate paying back the "borrowed shares" at a much lower price when the stock crashes. Professional short sellers never expect to buyback the nonexistent shares and legally avoid U.S. taxes on their profits in doing so. If the shares are not there to be borrowed, your company can't be sold short.
If your company can keep your shares away from the DTC, by having all your shareholders demand physical delivery of their share certificates, your company is said to have a Cash Market in its stock. Few companies are aware of the dangers that short sellers pose. Brokerage firms and the DTC work very hard to make it extremely difficult to create a Cash Market in any stock.
