i think you raise a very valid point.
there a groups of shareholders that follow industries as opposed to one or two particular stocks.
they try to ride the high of each stock and then bail to the next one when they think thats on the rise.
i dont know how much money this would make them but if they are very knowledgeable of the industry they would be on top of it.

then you have holders that are committed to certain stocks and wont budge for the long term.

In my opinion for a company to "make it" they have to break away from the similar companies to itself.
they have to distinguish themselves above the rest to attract significant more share holders rather than be used to make a quick buck.
