In Germany it is possible to buy one stock. Older people buy, go to stock-owner-meetings, eat the 'cake' (one more time that word)...and are very proud. They also vote with. What a bad dream for a firm: Thousends of people all owning one stock... LOL .
But those people own many different stocks and so they got a meeting every weekend. They don't have to cook at home and need nothing to pay for their food.
