My anger is not with Wheeler or Venkataraman's stock transactions but more to what we've allowed to happen to the corporate landscape in America.

Yet you called them crooks. If you don't like the corporate landscape in America feel free to move to China - I hear its much more shareholder friendly there.

We are now sitting on our first 'lost decade' for long term stock appreciation strictly because of the constant dilution by employee's and the actions of hedge funds.

First Lost Decade? You have no clue what you're talking about. Take a look at the S&P between 1961 and 1974. You'll see this isn't the first time the S&P has shown no real appreciation over a 10+ year period.
Strictly because of the constant dilution by employees and actions of hedge funds?Another clueless comment. How have hedge funds hurt the performance of the average investor? If your talking about Kramerica - I'll give you that, however, other than that hedge funds have had zero impact on the average investor's performance. Also, employee share dilution is only one negative impact on share performance. Poor management decisions over allocations of capital, share buybacks, M&A activity have had a significantly larger negative impact on equity performance.

We've convinced the average person to invest for the long term and have ripped any profits from their hands when they need it most.

What are you talking about? The average person that invests in the market dollar cost averages every month into index/mutual funds. However, the biggest mistake the average investor makes is they let their emotions control their investment decisions - (i.e., selling at the low (fear) and they get super bullish at the top). They do the exact opposite of what they should do. Nobody ripped any profits from their hands. Americans over leveraging themselves in homes they couldn't afford, using the homes as ATM machines buying fast depreciating assets cost them a lot more than what they lost in their equity/bond portfolios.
