Some sharp people think this is going up and so do some bitter people and so do some people that just seem as if they don't understand markets and business. Hardly anyone who posts here thinks it's going down - ever! So, it seems as if everyone is not as smart as they think they are, except maybe me, but I hold a pretty dim view of my intelligence!
Someone made the ubiquitous comment referencing the shareholders paying salaries of managenment. Perhaps the reason people are surprised as to how management "treats" the "owners" of the company, is because the "owners" like us really don't pay the management a dime. When we buy 10000 shares, our money doesn't go to the company, but to the other guy like us who sold 10000 shares.
