Hi jas626

"I just don't get why they don't have a serious go and make their company prosper,"

The reason is.... by just playing the financial engineering game they can routinely make a risk free 25% [for themselves] every time ... and so they rinse and repeat. The ability of companies to issue shares [which can be sold straight away] is just like having a printing machine for money ... if that power is in the hands of unscrupulous people it gets abused.
