The exposure is still greater than the zero that currently exists. If only 1% see the stuff from the smaller instances and figure out what’s up, they’ll jump. That’s better than the current near 0. There’s not really a scenario where it reduces the activity here any further, only improves it.

Another similar question: why has executive pay skyrocketed when it’s exactly opposing to (most) companies best interests?

What are the potential downsides to this? In other words, why isn’t it like this stock?
