The stock price will fall if we don't make more money then we did last year.

  • But why?

Because we are legally obliged to do what is best for shareholder, or they can sue us.

  • Right so the company needs to make more money again and again and again until the company or the world dies

  • Accurate. The laws need to find a balance as I get shareholders who took a risk on business would like to see a return, but it is way too slanted to the point that the risk is on our entire society. We need people to be in those laws not just shareholders.
