.@Kantrowitz @NateSkid Yes. https://medium.com/bull-market/there-is-no-effective-fiduciary-duty-to-maximize-profits-939ae50d0572#.dh05mi127 … and http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2015/04/16/what-are-corporations-obligations-to-shareholders/corporations-dont-have-to-maximize-profits …. They can just say "this is better long-term" and done.
but that articles argues against the long term good as a reason - ref Ford vs Dodge
Basically, fiduciary duty doesn't compel you to do anything affirmative, let alone maximize profits.
You can argue long term profits (not just good); but most likely there is nothing to argue.
"Ford lost because he was more interested in the greater good than in Ford Motor Co and its shareholders."
sorry slightly paraphrased to fit but almost a complete quote from the medium article
Yeah, greater good is the argument here. Just that they don't have to maximize profits by any means.
yes - now the problem is when you already are at a certain level of profit, and actions would mean losses
Exactly. How much loss can it sustain before Shareholders start asking questions about the greater good?
Meh. It's making a lot of money; has gone up a zillion fold. It has tons of room and nothing binding it.
totally - I'm not saying it's a good thing! And Zuckerberg in willing denial of impact
