Also, bonus culture on Wall Street will destroy us all. What is the personal risk to someone taking huge gambling risks with company assets? If you lose, the company (and/or taxpayer) pays. If you win, you get returns that are inordinately huge. We are right back where we were. Front-loaded salary packages will destroy us all (unless Amazon does it first).
Agree with everything you see here, pretty much, but the reference to Amazon is funny because the company consistently destroys its competition by investing for the long-term in a disciplined way.
