Re:
I agree that companies should not base future plans on short term, quick-buck, trader sentiment, but plenty of long term investors buy and hold shares for years despite not being part of an IPO. They still own that piece of the company even if they didn't buy it immediately. The interest of share holders shouldn't be more or less served because of when they bought the shares.
