I feel like investors have too much influence in business decisions they don't quite understand. I understand that it's their money at risk, so they want the greatest return in the least time, but their excessive influence has soured many great things.
Maybe something like small stockholders would work, as they are not even allowed to vote in the direction the company takes, so their only influence is selling stock (voting with their wallet). It would certainly widen the door for fraud, but it's not like fraud in uncommon with the current system, and I'm tired of seeing how this tale keeps repeating in practically any area of commerce.
- doctor_eval 5y agoI agree. Investors are conservative, but changing the world isn’t.
- ASalazarMX 5y agoMore than conservative, they're voracious. Some investments fail, and others don't, and they want to extract maximum value of the latter without stopping to understand why did they work. Consequently, they slowly turn the latter into the former.
- doctor_eval 5y agoYeah I 100% agree. None of the people involved in my last business have any interest in understanding how they fucked up. They blame me, because I kept pointing out that what they were doing was not going to work. It didn’t work - and somehow that’s now my fault!
