Theoretically, if we were to remove the financial barriers to entry into the stock market, such that you were able to invest as little as 1 dollar and own part of a publicly traded company, would you?
Sure, you would make returns on your investment, but since it was only a dollar, you'd be really lucky to make 30cents. What I'm trying to gauge here is the level of emotional / ideological / political attachment you might garner from investing in a publicly traded company.
I see the capital markets to be as much an opinion place as they are a market place. We vote with our dollars - we tell the world what we deem to be important with our investments.
If provided with the opportunity, would you voice your opinion?
If you could invest in any publicly traded company with $1, would you?

#2I don't know about a dollar but it would be nice to be able to invest in say Apple, or Google without having to drop 300 to 500 dollars a share that they run. Heck if I could pick up some GOOG or AAPL for 20 bucks I would give it away as gag Christmas presents.

#3In a similar topic, I've always found Google Will Eat Itself[1] an interesting concept.
