Class A are voting shares so they carry a small premium but that doesn’t matter because Brin and Page control voting by owning their own special class of shares, Class B. Class C gets bought back more and is the stock they use to comp their employees but has no voting shares. Honestly you’d be missing on cents per share most times.

This Shopify CEO seems legit. I don't know about OPEN going to $82. Maybe in a few years if the real estate market really does dramatically turn around. But either way, this Kaz Nejatian is legit, and his entire comp is tied to stock performance - He gets paid $1 - This is a guy who earned around $100 million last year. should be a fun ride.

Really gives me a lot of understanding on how bad everyones opinion on stocks are in this sub…. Everyone acting like they are gods at reading fundimentals calling it a meme stock… but ignoring basic truths… fanstastic CEO choice.. even better comp package with $1 salary based on preformance….. rate cuts… the way the housing market sales need to change and move into the digital age… more and more… yet everyone is a regard… got it.

Stock based comp for the CEO when hitting price targets.

It equals massive comp package and low expectations for turning around a shitcan company

The problem is not a fear of short term uncertainty but an overconfidence in long term success. since you are a comp sci grad i’d expect you to understand how as of right now the expectation that infinite scaling won’t bring about agi (which is what investors are hoping for) So even if it was capable of replacing tons of relatively high level jobs with automation (and even that is being very generous) It in no way justifies companies like nvda making up a whopping 8% of the s&p500, like that’s insanely ridiculous and i’m not even counting amd and the other ones

Two different things - firstly, yes, it is automation at an unprecedented scale, but it is inevitable, if not US, China will do it, if not now, in a few decades, no point in delaying the inevitable, we are just scared of short term uncertainty, we’ll figure out a way to make society balance again, we always have. And to the overvaluation part, if you’re talking about PLTR sure, but GOOGL, MSFT, META, AMZN aren’t too far off historic Forward PEs and they have earnings growth to show for their increased capex. And I am an unemployed comp sci grad for what that’s worth 😂😂.

goes to show that Larry corning Jensen at dinner (with elon) to pressure him for a ton of chip supply was worth every bit of his comp package

You can't rig the CPI report. Best thing is to revise the prior month higher to get this months comp lower m/m

Yes but it's more pre-defined likely. For eg rebalancing ports and trimming winners. Not outright dumping. Also companies are constantly creating new shares to raise capital. Employee comp shares as well. Those get sold but slowly absorbed by new inflows like buybacks and 401ks.
