does dow jones and nasdaq companies reporting quarterly hurt them because the focus is only on the next quarter instead of a long term?



discuss, i'm verklempt

 

what the hell does verklempt mean!?

 

No, it makes them more accountable. That may be a small side effect bu you can compare them to the 2 year terms of House members. They pay attention to their constituents more while the Senate is able to focus on long term more.

 

but dont you think that a longer term focus would help microsoft dominate the world?

 

***** plumetted again, on the nasdaq.

 

i still think you made verklempt up.

 

its an snl word, que coffee talk?

 

Um?

 

Well, I can kind of see your point. Are you saying thats why the stock market fluctuates so much?

 

no, i was thinking we could have more responsible big companies if they had a longer term veiw of things. instead of just looking at costs right now, they could look at costs for a longer period?
