If they create billions and billions of dollars in value for the owners of the company because of their actions and the stock goes up dramatically as a result of these decisions why shouldn't they make a lot of money. Thank God we live in a country where it is possible to make a lot of money through a system which benefits the owners of a corporation and a Board of Directors exercizes control."
Yeah, right.
These guys make obscene amonts of money, regardless of how well the company's stock does.
And if the stock really, really tanks, and they are forced out, they have golden parachutes worth hundreds of millions more.
"Create billions and billions of dollars in value for the owners of the company" WTF?
Remember Enron? Those guys created billions and billions of dollars in value for the owners of the company for quite some time, but they produced nothing of value for the consumer. All they did was raise consumer energy costs, and pocket the money.
When the company disappeared, virtually overnight, was there an energy shortage? Any problems turning on the lights?
Did anyone but the stockholders and ex-employees even notice it was gone?
