Thats silly. Then anyone can walk in and say "Hey Nintendo, I want to invest millions of dollars into your company, but I need to know all your upcoming plans.......oh thats what you have planned?....never mind then"

They wouldn't meet with just anyone. If they're sitting down to talk to you, then that means you are potentially going to invest so much that you become a major share holder, and you have a history to prove you are a sincere investor.

Major shareholders are not only filled in just for the sake of being informed of where their money is going, but also because their control stock is significant enough to allow them to exert a controlling influence on the firm's decisions.
Remember when Capcom decided some of their I.P.'s were up for sale? That was due to a majority shareholder decision. Because they were not happy with the ways things were going. So it's not as simple as "they can just sell their stock if they're not happy".

None of Capcoms IPs were up for sale. Why? Because Capcom didnt want to. Investors have no saying in that. They can make suggestion and threats all they want, but its the company that decides. You invest in a company based on educated guesses, the companys history and reputation, how much you believe in them and their product etc... You are not a Nintendo employee. You are just someone who wants to make money.
