I don't think they bought themselves time. I think they invested our money well, bravo.
I didn't actually say anything about being impatient or otherwise enter into this imaginary "shareholders having a choice" role play.
That being said I'd still like to know what these people are getting paid $940 a week for. It might seem like a pittance for some, but, having to actually work for money, myself, I'd like to know what we are paying for. Is that so wrong?
