How do you measure CEO, by profits[[results) or stock price[[fads)...

I am am not a stock expert but I kinda view Tesla as a technology stock verses a automotive manufacturer,I think the perceived value there is in hopes for future breakthroughs in technology that pay high dividends,kinda like Facebook etc.

I am not a ford fan as I said but I do have some of their stock and look more at long term stability,which they have always had sans the expected ups and downs and not that hoped for massive payout based on speculation.

The whole Tesla thing even though they produce a good car and have their fingers in a lot of infancy technology aspects it just seems like it is for parking a lot of money at high risk and is subject to another dot com bust situation.High risk with high payout.

Maybe that thinking could be why I do not have massive amounts of money.
