Just about everyone with retirement savings or a pension is a shareholder, usually via index funds. I’m not sure if you can access your voting rights for those shares, or if they’re handled by the index fund manager (who for sure is voting for profit at all costs)
Typically, no. You don’t get to vote for an index or mutual fund.
I’ve found stocks to be a fun thing to kind of collect. That company seems fun and stocks are $34. Eh, I’ll buy one. And then just forget I have it. I don’t do day trading or anything like that. So it’s low stress and unless you are trying to buy a lot, relatively cheap. Occasionally you’ll even get 24 cents back!
