I'm on a thirty year plan so no I'm not worried about the stock price right now. Being short term quarterly minded is an epidemic that plagues this country. It's a big reason why there are so few middle class jobs anymore. You pretty much have to be a "manager" of someone or a group to make over $40k these days. Slashing and burning makes the price go up at many companies and that CEO will have been long gone by the time those changes show in the long run. Long term investments never help stock price. We do both though at the same time. We slash and burn labor while buying planes and hangers.
