kudos:1 | Re: I disagree. Your logic is sound, but only applies when a business is run like a business. And they aren't anymore. They are now nothing more than short term investments, and their value is tied only to how much they can bring in, and how little they spend, today. Day traders don't care that a lack of investment in the network today might mean a total loss of business 6 months from now. Nor do they care that policies and products rolled out today might screw the company (or it's customers) down the road. They care only about today, and thus, the business operates as such.

kudos:2 | Re: I disagree. "Day traders" are a minuscule part of the market. However, there is an increasing number of short term investors (i.e. investment time frames of months vs years) likely due to market efficiencies and availability of information. There's nothing wrong with this IMO. Sound businesses that grow revenue and increase margins will continue doing well in the eyes of investors. These sound businesses will also reinvest capital to ensure this growth continues. Your narrow view of investors is tainted by a "visible minority". | |

kudos:2 | Re: I disagree. Customers pay for operations and maintenance. Investors pay for expansion and upgrades. "Real" money has no meaning. True long-term investors are the debt holders IMO. | |
