William, its one thing to hitch ones wagon to a rising star to make some serious money and get to retire early, for this one must choose the right corporation or industry...no point in being a ceo of buggywhip.com ! but, its another to really believe that these companies in the very long run will ever do much but line the pockets of the early bird shareholders...this will take a long time to play out but i believe, i really believe, ebay ain't worth more than a dollar...and i believe amzn will not be around at some point... i'm a little insulted by your post, because i believe the majority of senior corporate types run corporations for themselves, to shake loose $ in the form of stock options. you really believe otherwise ?

Talent and motivation are one thing, Glenn. Where one applies it is another. William, Applying talent and motivation is what creates improvement to the world around us. I don't see any of that happening Amazon. I'm willing to bet that you would be just as proud of your son if he were applying his considerable management skills at Amazon or eBay, and was up to his eyeballs in stock options. I disagree here. He would not have the authority make decisions for himself and to innovate. That is true for employees of most large companys.
