unfortunately, the only thing that matters cu is the company's current stock price. it is driven by the returns required to attract mutual funds that we all own in our retirement accounts. the mgrs and ceos cannot build a business and invest if their only performance metric is stock price. unless we change the system and reward a longer term more effective approach nothing will change. if you can't invest long term or communicate to your shareholders that you are in a building or investing mode, you are forced to play the game. the game is a shell game where you move your business around to find the lowest cost and highest profit. eventually if the game goes on long enough, we will be the low cost provider because no one will have a job here. imagine that.....
