Lizzie, I think based on some of your posts, you may not understand what can happen if shareholders decide a stock is not worth buying anymore because all the profits go to employees and insiders. What happens is that the market for that stock can dry up and the stock price plunges as a result. Then all those insiders and employee owners end up with worthless options. So everyone loses. Smart CEOs realize that a company is like a 4-legged chair: customers, partners, employees, and shareholders. You screw one of those and you could find your ass sitting on the floor next to your stock price. Right now, shareholders are getting screwed out of profits by companies that heavily water their stock. That means one leg is getting sawed at. It won't take much to topple the chair if that leg goes.
