This seems like the root of the problem right here. Why shouldn't corporate profits go down when the economy falters? This should be expected. If you just keep running the company the same way and not pissing off the users/customers, things will improve when the economic situation improves. Rocking the boat just increases risk.
- wkat4242 3y agoYes but investors don't care. They will immediately drop their stock and tank your value the moment a competitor offers a higher return. We should have some kind of model that incentivises long-term investment not this kind of short term profit extraction.
- midoridensha 3y agoWe do have that, to an extent: capital-gains taxes are higher for securities held for less than 1 year. Maybe this needs to be extended or improved somehow.
