>I wouldn't jump to a conclusion that by applying Jack's ideas you are going to get your company to those 4000% valuation increase. The reason I mentioned the raging bull S&P (+1400℅) during Welch's tenure and the reason I added the S&P chart was precisely to suggest the possibility of correlation and looking at the performance of each within the context they inherited the company. The point I was making is that the controversy around Jack Welch as a person has no effect on what you can learn from him as a brain. Imagine if people wouldn't read Mein Kampf because Hitler was "not nice". Now, you are warning people that there's no direct cause to effect relationship between the advice in the book and the 4000℅.. Is that warranted, though? That would probably be named "cargo cult reading".
