Investors only care about their wallets. Thus- investors.
Why gamble with your money on a long term deal which may or may not work when you can pump a company full of money like steriods knowing it will go up in the short term and then dip with your profits?
'Investors' dont care one bit about the 'health' of a company.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
