The big shareholder groups in DXStorm.com Inc. (CVE:DXX) have power over the company.

What Does The Lack Of Institutional Ownership Tell Us About DXStorm.com?
Small companies that are not very actively traded often lack institutional investors, but it's less common to see large companies without them.
There could be various reasons why no institutions own shares in a company. Typically, small, newly listed companies don't attract much attention from fund managers, because it would not be possible for large fund managers to build a meaningful position in the company. It is also possible that fund managers don't own the stock because they aren't convinced it will perform well. DXStorm.com might not have the sort of past performance institutions are looking for, or perhaps they simply have not studied the business closely.
Hedge funds don't have many shares in DXStorm.com. As far I can tell there isn't analyst coverage of the company, so it is probably flying under the radar.
Insider Ownership Of DXStorm.com
The definition of an insider can differ slightly between different countries, but members of the board of directors always count. The company management answer to the board; and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board, themselves.
Most consider insider ownership a positive because it can indicate the board is well aligned with other shareholders. However, on some occasions too much power is concentrated within this group.
Our most recent data indicates that insiders own a reasonable proportion of DXStorm.com Inc.. Insiders have a CA$70k stake in this CA$415k business. I would say this shows alignment with shareholders, but it is worth noting that the company is still quite small; some insiders may have founded the business.

General Public Ownership
The general public, mostly retail investors, hold a substantial 60% stake in DXX, suggesting it is a fairly popular stock. This level of ownership gives retail investors the power to sway key policy decisions such as board composition, executive compensation, and the dividend payout ratio.
Private Company Ownership
Our data indicates that Private Companies hold 23%, of the company's shares. It might be worth looking deeper into this. If related parties, such as insiders, have an interest in one of these private companies, that should be disclosed in the annual report. Private companies may also have a strategic interest in the company.
