That's too generous. These fucknuts only think one quarter at at time. It doesn't matter if the business shuts down next quarter, as long as I make the absolute most profit possible this quarter. Nobody ever taught them that sustainable returns eventually nets you more than a single massive spike followed by collapse.

Nobody ever taught them that sustainable returns eventually nets you more than a single massive spike followed by collapse.

But it makes less then a giant spike, then getting out and your returns into something else. As long as they aren't the one holding the bag in the end, they don't really care about what happens to the business after.
