That's a nice theory.

However, as DSK pointed out, shareholders haven't been substantially
rewarded for the climb in profits.

Higher profits usually produce higher stock prices. Few public companies
pay dividends anymore. It's all in the stock price.

I am not saying it's right - I am just saying it's the way it is. A CEO
that does not show bottom line growth ain't gonna be a CEO for long. And
although publicly reported quarterly, most large companies now report
monthly and even weekly, internally. That's why I don't work for one
anymore.
