Yeah... financialization is the enemy of quality, because everything becomes speculative: measured in terms of stack growth consistency rather than the actual value a business provides; like consistently delivering high quality products to customers.
Yeah this is why I boycott Walmart! It’s absolutely ridiculous how they run that business.
Also why I’m so critical of Warren Buffett. I think the GFC would have really damaged his returns due to the corporate debt daisy chain.
I often think who is holding Ford’s $100B+ of debt!! Who would get wiped out if they stop making payments and more importantly who is using that debt to take on more leverage!
Pension funds. I can tell you who's going to get 10% equity next bailout though haha
Hahaha
When you have nameless faceless people appointed to your leadership board they sway business decisions in a major way. Co-ops and family owned companies seem to have more of a philosophy of providing top notch service to their customers. Plus everything isn’t always about growth at all costs.
Think of wegmans posted same store revenue declines by like 5% the stock price would tank and the board would look to cut costs and just laying off people and closing low performing stores.
