Fry still owns planet express.

This just came to me the other day.  In Futurestock, Fry gains control of the majority of PLNX Stock, which is of course worthless, all the same, he owns it all.  After this, he appoints Professor Farnsworth as the acting chairman, but he keeps all of his stock, right?  So at the end of the day, Fry is a delivery boy for the company he completely owns.

Yeah, i saw future stock today aswell. I noticed that and another thought occured to me. correct me if im wrong (i wasn't watching too closely) but doesnt "that guy" get all his stock from zoidberg? so doesnt that mean zoidberg owned the company before fry?

Professor is the founder of the company though so he technically OWNS it but yeah Fry must still be the majority shareholder lol!

founding the company has nothing to do with it, once a company sells stock the stockholders own it. Fry probably kept the stock, not like it's worth anything and fry doesn't wany the responsibility of running the company. And farnsworth probably figures Fry will die on one of the "perfectly safe" missions he's always sending his crew on.

sometimes I think farnsworth must be frustrated with his new crew's annoying habit of surviving missions; none of the old crews ever stayed around long enough to expect bonuses, or raises, or to have their names be remembered.
