[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 788072, member: 927"] Maybe you should define corporate greed? If you define it as what Enron did... Cooking the books.... Yes, its bad. If you define it as what happened with the subprime mortgages.... Stealing from the future..... Yes, its bad. Unfortunately, people paint a corporation trying to grow revenue, profits, share price as Corporate Greed. No... Those things are good.... Jim Casey said: "An expanding business is the only way to provide opportunities for our people." Too often on this board, profits and profit growth are seen as bad. As Tie said, if profit growth is greed, then I'm all for it. Name a company that stayed complacent and shrunk to greatness. Does it require accountability. Of course. Its always been that way. Some call that harassment. We used to call that accountability. Jim also said: "Don’t over-rate yourself. Lean a little the other way — be constructively dissatisfied with yourself — and you’ll go further." So, define corporate greed before we decide its bad. [/QUOTE]
