Well put.

I am picturing as a triangle of three perspectives. That also gives you three (or 6) possible cross-perspective stories.

The dynamics between these perspectives are where things start to get squirrely. 2021 memestocks like gme are good examples. Game perspective (no. 3) was the main story. Short squeezes. Retail investors getting cut off, etc. The stock perspective (no. 2) is now all about game investors. Can the stock attract or sustain all this interest from day traders and such.

Company performance (perspective 1) is affected more by the company's stock than the other way around.
