APES - Don't fully agree with your assessment of APES CEO. You can't judge compensation solely on the basis of gross revenues of a company. CEO could and most likely wearing several hats in the company. He may be running the Public side of the company as well as soliciting new biz and servicing accounts. I don't blame him a bit for taking as much as shareholders will let him take.
You should have held onto a few shares and started a class action lawsuit against the company. Scare him into lowering compensation if that is what you think. But you are correct in thinking that it will keep people from buying the stock, which is most likely not a concern of CEO at this point. He has a fat cash cow.... milking it for all he can.
