Just like how all public companies focus on the quarterly numbers and nothing else. No one gives a shit about next year or even next quarter. It's always "how much money are we making in the next 3 months, all else be damned."
I get paid based on the quarterly numbers, as long as I liquidate whatever stock i get as soon as possible then next quarter doesn't matter.
Jesus I've gotten cynical though.
Gotta keep them stock prices inflated. Forget being in business in 10 years. Forget being able to pay reasonable dividends. Forget the strategic plan. What are we doing to boost stock prices RIGHT FUCKING NOW?!?!
