By the time a shareholder sees a return, a lot of money has been spread around to company insiders.
And more power to them.
I am lucky, and I understand not everyone has the opportunity to do what I do.
I have come to realize that by far my best option is with hands-on investments, such as real estate and small business.
I get to make all the decisions that directly impact the bottom line, I learn a lot, the returns are outrageous, and I can stop worrying about boardmembers I will never meet.
You don't know what your talking about,
John Travolta (Can't stand) films have grossed $1,810,574,584 in 35 pictures at an average of $51.7 million. Seems to be a good vehicle for a profit. And does not get 20 mill for every film.
I think this writer is wrong with the blame being directed towards the CEO. The BOD cut the deal and they are the ones that should be named and feet held into the fire.
