Hi ahhaha; Great post. I wonder what the eventual changes to corporate structure and stock market regulations will be from the fall out of the .com & tech crash. You can pretty well be assured that whatever regulations come in they will not be strong enough to mean very much. They will create paper service. One of the things I'd like to see is much easier ways to replace management, as well as the abolition of poison pills. We have been replacing management we bring in a new CEO to improve the bottom line. Their track record is the success of x company which happens to be an oil company. We manufacture soft drinks, the similarity is they are both liquid and we and the shareholders assume the bottom line will turn around in six months. Well at least oil wells are corked and so are bottles. I don't know anyone who still believes that the typical corporate management has the shareholder's best interests at heart, or the employee's or nation's for that matter Some shareholders are just as bad they aren't investing they are looking for fast dollars so whom is worse? Employee's who are they? The ones that have been with you for awhile are the quickest way to cut costs they have a higher salary base. A lot of the time it doesn't appear like management has their own best interests at heart either, but they always seem to lay themselves off last... Not actually at this point we go back to backers who are angry, then to the shareholders who are frequently lost and next to a law suit where an attorney helps direct the shareholder to not being lost, but an angry looser. This is called Paper Service, all the way up to IPO is paper and all the way down is paper and backup we just might go. Problem is production figures are going down and imports called products are going up. No one quite knows how to account for all our paper service but it highly inflationary.
