Why do shareholders come first?
Stock price cannot increase indefinitely. Why is this the goal of the company? What can the shareholders do? Vote all the directors out and dump all their stock. 70.25.138.179 04:04, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Shareholders can change the Board and they can write a shareholders agreement setting out what they want to see the Board to target as the Directors are acting as their representatives and can be replaced if performance is unsatisfactory.

Shareholder value maximization/creation
Couldn’t the article be expanded by stating that shareholder value maximization (and value based management) are ultimately based on maximizing free cash flow and net present value calculations (while traditional measures of profitability/value creation are more geared towards looking at earnings per share and similar measures)?

I think Shareholder value optimisation might vary from maximisation as the latter term would differ depending on your timescale of measurement.  User:MikeBeckett Please do say 'Hi!' 14:55, 13 May 2011 (UTC)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by MikeBeckett (talk • contribs)

Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg
Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Missing: Friedman 1962
Article needs to cite Milton Friedman, Capitalism and Freedom (Chicago 1962), (one of?) the first formulation(s) of the shareholder wealth maximization rule. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.82.138.247 (talk) 07:16, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
