Tell me more about your ideas how trading shares at the stock exchange
changes the nature of a company, switching it from "real commercial" to
the opposite.


If 100% of the shares are owned by the state, how does trading happen?


Normally by selling and buying. How else?

Mostly on the stock exchange, which is made for that. Maybe also
bypassing the stock exchange, but then mostly in big chunks.


Who is actually doing the buying? Is the state trading shares to and
from itself in some kind of zero-sum game?
