[GURPS]

while perusing an article from the Financial Times about the Rio Tinto Mining Loss the following statement was made ....

The new boss of Rio Tinto has promised an “unrelenting” pursuit of greater value for shareholders after the Anglo Australian mining group slumped to a US$3bn annual loss

Rio Tinto hit by biggest ever loss - FT.com


would you not, be maximizing share holder value making decisions that benefit the company over the long term, not a quick flare like quick burn

it seems short sighted to say you are maximizing value of the stock, rather than the business model of the company ... which IMHO would be a greater value to a share holder

it seems to me, to many companies are over a 1/4 point move down in stock prices, and do not necessarily make good long term moves
