As CEO of this conglomerate I would hope he is doing this to make money. There are many "rich" CEO's out there. Without the compensation for going through he.... to build these companies, why would anyone do it?
hk22, would you do it for free? I would hope even you would expect to be well compensated for your efforts in building something as big as this. Trouble is most people have a "worker bee" mentality and in fact really don't have what it takes to do much beyond what someone else directs them to do, and thus are paid exactly for what they contribute to to vision of the creator, which is usually a very, very small percentage. Without the creative genius of many CEO's in this country & around the World, most of us would still be farming for food. Creative CEO's such as Jan are few & far in-between, and as such are compensated for what they can envision, sometimes even before the vision has come to fruition.
Take a look at Harley Davidson's new CEO that was brought over from Johnson Controls. I had a two hour discussion with a top union representative concerning the direction and negotiations currently ongoing at HD. As he put it "the workers I represent as the head of the union just don't get why the new HD CEO is paid what they consider a exorbitant compensation package". As he put it "he is paid for what he can envision HD's future should be, not what he has done yet", Jan's visions should be well compensated IF he can get this off the ground, I'll begrudge his becoming rich if he can take us on the trip, and solve some of the issues surrounding the medical community in this Country. In the meantime I hope he is making some money to put gas in his car & eat!
And I don't know why some people continue to believe the CEO of any company is the one getting all the profit on these daily trades. I've seen many on this board buy, sell, & buy again. Unless Jan has about 40 different alias's on this board, there seems to be many people buying, & selling.
I doubt the 100's of millions of SKTO stocks that have cycled through the buying & selling process are all going into Mr. Jan's pocket, so should you.
All that being said, I still expect performance when I complete DD, like what I see and then invest in a company. Outright scams should be called out and prosecuted. But remember any investment is a risk, been married lately? :)
