Here were my thoughts on the subject, philipt631, which I posted yesterday:
I noticed there was some dust swirling yesterday regarding a bankruptcy in the past, for our current CEO Dr. Jones. I do not know whether there was one or not. But if there was, he's in very good company. Below are some well-know individuals who had declared bankruptcy, before going on to achieve greatness:

Abraham Lincoln - after bk, went on to become president and to change America forever
Henry Ford - after bk, went on to build an automobile company that continues more than 100 years later
P.T. Barnum - after bk, went on to create the greatest show on earth
Walt Disney - after bk, went on to build one of the leading media and entertainment companies
Milton Hershey- after bk, went on to build an incredibly successful chocolate company
H.J. Heinz - after bk, went on to build a dominant condiment company

Many of the most successful people have been asked, when interviewed, what single factor has contributed most to their ultimate success. And very often, the anwer given is that their past failures have paved the way for their eventual success.

We never learn more than we do from having failed at something... the process is integral to our learning development.

As always, simply my opinion.


I see no issues if the CEO declared bankruptcy

That is his personal business

How many celebs have declared bankruptcy several times over and what about Donald Trump?

How many regulars Joes have declared bankruptcy?



GRCU

You are missing the point - a CEO is the steward of the a public company and responsible for making prudent financial decisions.

If Jones can't control his personal spending and is reckless with his own finances - it is safe to assume he won't be making prudent decisions with the shareholders best interest in mind.

I do find it interesting at how shareholders justify every misdeed that GRCU has done and is doing - typical penny stock investors - playing the nickel slots with dreams of becoming a millionaire.
