      For a publicly traded company? Yes that’s an enormous amount in that context.

      Isn’t it?

      I don’t know what the threshold would be… but it would have to be over 50%. If I own 13% of my house, I wouldn’t say I own an enormous amount. I would I own 1/8th my house, which is pretty meagre.

        Your house isn’t a publicly traded company. That makes a big difference in this context.

          Only if you really want it to be different is it different. The reality is, it’s not. Words have meaning and 1/8th is not enormous. It’s literally a small fraction of the total.
