And i get that to some extent. But there is a flip side to that coin. I started a business 15 years ago. Poured my heart and soul into it and made peanuts for years. A lot of people bashed me in the same fashion you rip Bill and his company. I pressed on. Garnered some social acceptance and generated some excitement to the point of obtaining some real outside investment funds. From that point on i held a large stake in the company and paid myself recognizing something from the hard work i had put in to date. People questioned my selling much like you question Bills. But i had reached the point where i wanted, and frankly needed, to recognize some payoff. And i, and the business, continued to thrive and grow. I still had plenty invested in the company to the extent that i was still "taking a risk" along with my investors. God forbid i sold some equity and shares and made some money along the way. I'd like to think i was entitled to. And Bill continues to hold plenty of shares to the extent that he continues to take that risk too. So the guys selling shares and making money. He's entitled to that. I would love to see him sell nothing and recognize no profit but that's a little unrealistic in todays world. Especially if you want to have any quality of life. Fact remains Newmedman, the future is unknown...
