Looting is good for shareholders

Looting is good for shareholders 08/31/2004 05:25 PM

According to this NYT story, the management of Hollinger International took home 95 percent of the company's profits for themselves over the last 6 years.  I.e., these guys were looters par excellance.  Yet graphing the price of HLR versus the S&P 500 shows that the company's stock has outperformed the market as a whole.  How to explain this phenomenon?  Could it be that HLR has extraordinarily high profits and therefore 5 percent for the shareholders is still pretty good?  Or that the rest of the S&P 500 has managements that are looting more than 95 percent?

Let's hear from some MBAs who can explain this to us.  You'd think this would make a great B-school case study.

Microsoft gives shareholders 75 Billion 07/21/2004 04:20 PM

Wow imagine sitting around the board room and yawning and suggesting to throw 75 billion dollars back to the investors. That would wake you up but heck if they have so much money they ought to give me a call. I have a couple of ideas, just need someone smarter than I am to get it rolling. The bad thing about the really good ideas is that you have to be careful in who you tell or the next thing you know your idea is launched by the person you talked to. I guess that's why I have to sign Non Disclosure agreements all the time. Anyway congrats to the stock holders now if only Intel could afford to do something like that I would be a happy man.
