Shares equal control in Eve corporations - at least if you really use them...
You can trade shares personally and that is fine... But it is near impossible to keep track of shares.
If people go inactive shares are pretty much lost
If people leave with shares people don't know what they have
results in old corps ending up in chaos when we try accoutn for all the shares
I suggest a few small upgrades...
1/ Make Corp info actually update total amount of shares properly...
2/ Let corps have a view of at least top 20 shareholders
3/ Make it possible to get hold of inactive shares
4/ Make a vote available to "destroy shares"

Well, not really.
In the real world, old folks that keep shares of stock in shoeboxes for 50 years, really don't affect the control of a company.
The problem is that there is no market for trading shares. If there where, this would be awesome.
Picture it; the Corporation X issues 1mil shares, and keeps 51mil for themselves, sells the rest on the share market. The corporation will always have controlling interest. The one thing that needs to be done is have built in dividend payments. No one wants a stock where the corporation decides if and when if ever to issue a dividend. That needs to be determined at the outset of selling the stock. Monthly, quarterly, etc.
It would bring a whole new possibility to the game.
Downside; CCP wants you playing the game to make isk, not passively collecting dividends. I don't that is a real issue though, in order to get a serious amount of dividend producing shares, you would need alot of isk in the first place.
It would create a whole new, and very interesting dynamic to the game though. I say go for it and see what happens.

I think the game needs a good stock market. What is a corp without a stock market to trade shares?

Real world corps got share classes. Class A (deciding shares) and Class B (Economic shares).
Eve only have Class A shares and people only forget them because not many decisions are made with shares (I assume most people starting a corp want to be 100% in charge)
I don't think many corps actualy pay dividends which might be why shares don't mean much either... Who wants to give out corp isk if you don't know who has the shares? And who want to buy shares if they don't earn isk :p
