I'm sorry if you explained this before and it just hasn't set in, but why is everyone thinking short term with investing and handling money when sometimes a company could do so much better if they hedged their bets and think long term?Additionally, mergers and acquisitions look good on a profit'n'loss table right the fuck now whereas infrastructure and research investments won't pay off for years, and that makes shareholders and ratings agencies angry.
