I have always seen it sad that a good company is not considered good, if they are not increasing return or growing market share.
If you have a great company, that makes for example 5% a quarter ROI, why is this bad. Why it have to show %5, then 6% then 8%, etc..
This leads companies to find creative ways of being better, and unfortunately it makes business leaders to cut corners (fire in mass, borrow, play with books, etc); their own personal fate depends on it.
Other democracies have companies that think to long term success and they share ROI in a more steady manner (e.g. the Swiss).. This makes for a steadier economy.
But boy do we Americans love a Rally!!
