It's also about a company being made, growing steadily, responsibly, so that some are effectively employed, others receive goods or a service which they are willing to pay for. As Jaknap says "with great power comes great responsibility." If you are putting money into a company it isn't only about seeing returns increased. That's not being emotional about the shares, but about leaving some cream in there for the next bloke.
