That's an excellent point.

The fact is that many of us do own stock in some of these companies in the form of mutual funds, IRAs and 401Ks. All of that money is invested somewhere and most of don't know exactly where it is. I wonder how many people that want to see oil companies punished by cutting their profits have money invested in them and don't know it.
