No....from my experience there have always been short-sighted, pay me now kinda guys in the business world. I don't see any more now than before.....they tend to not stick around long as their values are not ones that can sustain an enterprise.
Not sticking around is one of their trademarks. Are they getting more opportunities in more companies?
With the blizzard and crushing burden of regulatory disclosure requirements increasing 10 fold since the beginning of my career, I would contend that the opportunities are necessarily far fewer.....perhaps like anything else with the 24/7 news media and more people invested in the markets its possible that more people are aware, but inconceivable to me that there could be more opportunities in more companies.....the penalties today are much stiffer, the disclosure threshold much higher and the Board oversight and Audit standards are vastly more intrusive......you're chasing ghosts, imho. To be Jay Gould at the turn of the century was the place to be imho.....easy pickin's, real money and nobody to answer to.....those were the days! :wink:
