I'm a major stockholder in Oska.

Principal stockholder, Investors National, which is controlled by Clément Enterprises.

You're the biggest stockholder in Investors National, which is the biggest stockholder in Freeway Realty, which suddenly wants a year's rent in advance for the theatre.

More broadly, the duration of holdings by mutual funds and pension funds America s core stockholder class increased during the quarter century from 1985 to 2010.
