I love this quote..if you don't keep the investors happy they will invest in something else (like credit default swaps) and then when they aren't happy with that investment, they will just get the government to pay them
I understand that when you have excess people layoffs are a consideration. Too many companies forget why they exist to begin with, if they make a product, its about the product, not the investor. If the product is good, then the profits come then the investors are interested in owning part of the company. You can get caught being a buggy whip maker, not adapting to the market, but you can also forget about what your product is, get caught up in "paying the investors" and then there is no company. Just look at a very long list of financial firms that are gone because, they kept reaching higher to pay an investor that they could not satisfy.
