Trust me, no matter what damage they have the potential to do, single-shot weapons always flatter to deceive in 40k. Rule #1

It's funny to track their stock its consistently went south over the years.

If I lose it is because I had bad luck, if you win it is because you cheated. |

If you chart the last 10 years, there is a drop at the beginning, a steady climb to a high peak in 2004 (caused by LoTR) followed by a sharp fall, and a downward trend to the present.
Over the past two months the price has risen 17%.

Woah, with the ludicrous profits GW makes, you could get rich quick!
1. Buy shares
2. Stock market plummets
3. Crying, depression, and self-harm
4. ???
5. PROFIT!!!

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made. |

"And what is wrong with their life? What on earth is less reprehensible than the life of the Levovs?"
- American Pastoral, Philip Roth
Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum.
No soldier's paid to kick against His powers.
We laughed - knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives; not men, for flags. |

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money. |

I believe stockholders do get votes in specific issues, but keep in mind that you might own 100 shares while someone else owns thousands or hundreds of thousands of shares.

Shareholders do get the right to sack certain members of the Board, or deny directors their reappointment. Other than approving a dividend and the (re)appointment of auditors at the AGM, that's about as far as their decision making powers are permitted to go for any PLC. Unless they happen to own enough shares for a seat on the Board themselves.
There are moves afoot to give them greater powers in respect of directors' remuneration, following the scandal of recent Bankers salaries but at the moment, and specifically for GW, that is not the case.
