Well your HO is wrong in most cases. Steve Jobs didn’t sell the seed when he drove the development of new products at Apple, he created entirely new businesses through innovation.
That’s how it is done by the companies who are earning the highest profits. Investors aren’t dumb, they ask the right questions and don’t allow companies doing what you described to survive for long.
Bingo, and they are very good at their jobs.
As an aside, Fortune's a left wing rag, and probably would be happy to piss on any parade that helps Trump.
Citing an exception in no way denies the rule and highest profits in a case where the person or persons making the decisions own a controlling interest in the company means nothing when such cases are in fact themselves the exception rather than the rule.
